Turns up in the mail today, God know when I ordered it.
All B&W photos on heavy weight in a box.
Lack of info, and some info is wrong (Pete Kircher in shots supposedly from 1979!).
Intro by Geoff Barton, summary by Dave Ling.
Glad I got it, pleased I didn't pay way over the odds for the leather and metal bound version.
Still can't remember ordering it.

I was shocked when mine turned up yesterday too. Had to check back to see that I'd ordered it back in late July!

I was looking for a list of Quo books as there's now more than ever, and found this:
It doesn't have the Rufus Publications one, 'Portraits of Status Quo' as it maybe hasn't been updated this year.
Any others it might be missing??

Mine pitched up on Friday. I've been keeping an eye on it because Mrs Mortified ordered it for my birthday - and that was in July!  It was originally due out in October and there have been no announcements of any delays, so I was beginning to wonder. I haven't read it yet, just leafed through it briefly. Not that there's much reading in it because it's mostly photographs. Some I've never seen before, which is a bonus. Nicely packaged with a free poster that, had I been 16, would have gone straight on my bedroom wall! Mrs Mortified may frown on that these days. Wouldn't go with the decor  I'll have a good look at it in my chair later Nice free badge with it (white Tele) which she's snaffled for her lanyard. Glad I have it. But like, col , the leather and metal bound one was extortionate (500 quid or something) and outwith my birthday budget  |

You'll have to get the poster framed. When questioned about doing so as you hang it up, you can say that you assumed it was just the blu tack that might be deemed objectionable! |

Absolutely love the book. some shots in there i hadnt seen before.
Odd that they have album titles as "chapters", but the photo order follows no specific timeline.
nice big poster with it.
hopefully an edition for post 85 - early 90s follows. would love to see more shots of the Rich / Edwards era
