If it's not a recent recording and it's live, then it can only be something from the Live At The BBC box set.

I wonder if anyone makes any profit out of these things. They really are aimed at the collector. Only good promotion and marketing will make for enough sales to cover costs I'd have thought. But this is interesting news. And if we're talking about shows not previously released, the interest will certainly be greater. As for these Archive Series, presumably they only cover from 2008 which is when the first Live Here Now gig was released. Anything prior like, say, a gig from the Heavy Traffic tour probably won't see the light of day. Although I'm just speculating. You just never know. I don't think there are any other live recordings from the Heavy Traffic tour besides the Heitere open-air festival. What about the Mexican FM broadcast? Re: the original question by per - here is the graphic designer of the series saying that "around 25 shows" are planned for the series, spanning the years 1999 to 2022. Whether that is accurate, I cannot verify, but if he's right, that would include more years than the Live Here Now discs.

That would mean having to license it, and be bothered to track it down... let's be serious here Those years will be listed because that is the era that Fourth Chord / Quo own, except for Heavy Traffic and Riffs, so any live shows from that period won't be included. I've also just checked. There are more than 25 LiveHereNow releases, so they can't be doing them all.

I do think we might get something more recent though. There hasn't been any live Quo release I'm aware of after the two Down Down live albums (both recorded in 2017), which means that there's nothing from Backbone represented on a live album, and none of Richie's lead vocals.
As to how it fits with the number, my assumption is that they'd probably try to avoid putting out too many shows from the same tour, when it's just the same setlist with no variation.

Without telling us what it is, can you confirm if it's something that hasn't been released as audio before or is it something that has never been released before in any format? I don't know how to word it without making it too obvious, but it's something that has essentially been released in full but hasn't at the same time. It's a release that I, and quite a few others, were never keen on because of the original mix. It's been on vinyl, cassette, and CD. If you think you know what I'm talking about, drop me a PM. I feel like the answer is currently staring me in the face...?
I can't see that it would be anything else if you've ruled out Live at the NEC which I think was just made into stand alone CD and Vinyl releases off the Live at the BBC Box set.

I might have missed something. But Radiohuset from Stockholm 1971 has yet to see an official release.

I went crawling through discogs last night to see if I could figure it out, looks like I did haha.
I'm not in love with the idea of buying a fourth copy tbh, it's already my favourite album ever in it's current form!
Out of interest, there seems to be a line in the sand regarding material pre and post a certain date. Is it that the owner of the "pre" date material simply isn't interested in Quo as an ongoing business but the "post" is?
Or does it come down to cost to "excavate" the old fossil stuff is so high (vs the current material thats all digital) that any projects involving that stuff would lose money?

I might have missed something. But Radiohuset from Stockholm 1971 has yet to see an official release. I think it came out unofficially in 2022 as Live In Europe with a sort of add-on of Is It Really Me/Gotta Go Home from Germany. At least I think that's what that was. But certainly not ' approved by the band'

I thought that was "Doing their thing" combined with Is it really me/Gotta go home from Germany. But maybe it was booth.
