Newly acquired by Cherry Red, and includes some pre-Status Quo demo recordings according to the press release...

I found this in an old Record Collector feature, have these tracks ever been released?

Status Quo: Francis Rossi's pre-Quo group recorded at Holloway Road around 1963. Even though he didn't sign them up, Joe liked them and suggested that they should change their name to The Palaminos. They cut three tracks, which still survive in excellent quality. I Gave My Heart, I Won't Miss You and Love My Life Away.

God, how young WERE they when they first started recording??

Someone referenced this in a post the other day so thought it might be worth bumping up.

Lets hope these 3 tracks get released in the not too distant future. I think they would be the earliest recorded material we would have by any embryonic Quo line-up, pre-dating the current earliest pair of Spectres demos from 1965 which appeared on a vinyl-only compilation 20 years ago.

I know it's not everyone's wet dream, but could be interesting!

It's amazing that he would be involved in a recording session at that young age. Hard to believe really.

It's an affliction common among Everton supporters.

Apparently, a couple of supporters were at the Finch Farm training facility & spotted a few Everton players playing football with a cat & they were tempted to call the RSPCA, but the cat was already 2-0 ahead at that point!
