Άνουβις
This is Status Quos tour de force. The album that set the template for future classic albums like Hello, Quo, On the Level & Blue For You. The band had dabbled in blues rock on their previous two offerings Ma Kelly and Dog of Two Head but with this they found the perfect marriage of blues rock and heavy rock. The barrage of 3 chord boogie rock begins with a fans live favourite Dont Waste My Time & ends with their powerful stomping cover of The Doors Roadhouse Blues. In-between there is the brilliant Oh Baby, the single Paper Plane with its killer riff & the hard rockin Big Fat Mama. Only on the songs A Year and Unspoken Words is there a short refrain from the relentless onslaught.

this is a beautiful reissue from june 2017 of one of status quos best and most classic records from the 70s, the lp gatefold sleeve as well as the virtigo inner sleeve is an exact replication of the first pressing of this classic from 1972, the vinyl is a really nice thick deep blue color and i belive only 1000 of these where pressed and only sold via hmv in the uk, there was a bunch of other titles released like this one for june 17, 2017 and of the two of them i had to grab was this and a saxon title as well..........................
