Album Summary
Digitally remastered two CD set featuring 43 of the finest tracks by this British rock institution. Includes tracks from their '60s Psychedelic period up through their '90s rock and roll masterpieces. Features 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', 'Down Down', 'In The Army Now', 'Ain't Complaining', 'Ice In The Sun', 'Paper Plane', 'In My Chair', 'What You're Proposin' 'Whatever You Want' and more. Status Quo is one of Britain's longest-lived bands, staying together for over 40 years. During much of that time, the band was only successful in the UK, where they racked up a string of Top Ten singles that ran into the Millennium. Over the years, the Quo have basically recycled the same simple boogie on each successive album and single, yet their popularity has never waned in Britain. If anything, their very predictability has ensured the group a large following. Universal. 2006.
'In Search of the Fourth Chord' is the band's 33rd album. For this album, the band reunited with Pip Williams, the man who produced the likes of "Rockin' All Over The World", "Whatever You Want" and "In The Army Now".
The album provides a slew of highlights and variety, from the couldn't-be-any-other-band-in the- world opening of "Beginning Of The End" or "I Don't Wanna Hurt You Any More" to the loping swagger of "Pennsylvania Blues Tonight" to the more considered Blues/Country styling's of "Electric Arena".
Status Quo's total worldwide record sales exceed 118 million units.
Quo have recorded 63 British hit singles - more than any other band - 22 of which have hit the Top Ten. The first hit was "Pictures of Matchstick Men" which reached Number 7 in January 1968.
