Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook. The band as they are now – left to right: Richie Malone, Andy Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, Francis Rossi, Leon Cave (photo: Christie Goodwin) The fact that so many of the songs fitted into the live sets along the way is testimony to their strength. Anyone who knows me will be aware that I don't deal in nostalgia, but I do think that what Status Quo achieved during this twenty year period - in the face of challenges that none of us could have predicted we'd have to deal with - is worth celebrating."

There’s a three disc version that you need to buy, because on it there’s a live CD that explains in audio form the sheer joy of seeing them live – I swear to you, if you go and don’t have the biggest smile on your face when you leave, you must have had botox.

Last week Status Quo announced the release of ‘ Quo’ing In – The Best Of The Noughties’– an era spanning compilation taking in their greatest hits from the band’s output thus far in the new millennium, which includes 5 Top Ten studio albums, and many fan favourites. Along with this new album comes the release of the first digital single ‘Caroline’, one of the band’s biggest hits ever; a brand-new studio version recorded in 2022. The collection will be released on earMUSIC on 16 September 2022 on various formats: 2CD Jewelcase, Limited Edition 3CD Deluxe Digipak (featuring a bonus disc with previously unreleased live material) plus Digital. Details on further set of collector’s issue Vinyl variant editions are to be announced soon. Which is sort of why I began with that ramble about two people who mean nothing to you, and if you’re a quo-nostic if you will, like I was, then let me tell you how good they are.. And also that’s why I am pre-disposed to this set of “Noughties” stuff more than many would be – because these songs were my entry point into this world.

There’s a thing about familiarity. There’s a thing about a band always being there. You forget – or perhaps never realise – how good they are. There are many compilations covering the productions by Status Quo in the 70s and 80s, the period when the big classics by the band were recorded. In the last 20 years, Status Quo continued to release chart albums, and pushed themselves to play in front of bigger and bigger audiences. To do this era justice, “Quo’ing In – The Best of the Noughties” will be released on 16 September 2022 on various formats: 2CD Jewelcase, Digital, as well as a Limited Edition 3CD Deluxe Digipak featuring a bonus live-concert. Along with this news comes the release of the first single "Caroline," one of the band's biggest hits, in a brand-new studio version recorded in 2022. The collection will be released on earMUSIC on November 25 on various formats: 2CD Jewelcase, Limited Edition 3CD Deluxe Digipak (featuring a bonus disc with 10 previously unreleased live classics, newly mixed in 2022) plus Digital. of the band’s 33 albums were released in the last 22 years, a pace unequalled by any of their contemporaries. That the music always sounds fresh is testament to the band’s durability, and in no small way due to the shuffling in and out of band members, sometimes made through choice, sometimes forced on the band by tragic circumstances. Status Quo are delighted to announce the release of ‘ Quo’ing In – The Best Of The Noughties’ an era spanning compilation taking in their greatest hits from the band’s output thus far in the new millennium, which includes 5 Top Ten studio albums, and many fan favorites.
