Status Quo have confirmed details of the long-awaited expanded edition of their classic 1976 live album Status Quo – Live!. The eight-CD package will arrive via Edsel Records on May 16 and include a newly remastered version of the original release – compiled from recordings taped over three nights at the Glasgow Apollo in Scotland in October 1976 – in addition to the three sets in their entirety.
The set will be released as a 7” box containing the 8CDs, and a 24-page illustrated booklet featuring 4000 words of liner notes from Classic Rock writer and unofficial boogie brother #1 Dave Ling and an article by AVP Studio's Andy Gamble, who was responsible for the remastering.
In addition, a double vinyl version of the show recorded on October 27, 1976 will be released on April 12, Record Store Day. It'll be available in two coloured vinyl variants, blue and "ticket stub mint." Full tracklist below.
