Pictures Of Matchstick Men (1968) by Status Quo

“This one's for John who always billed himself 'Earl Of Matchstick'. Brings back memories of building Airfix model 'planes, the smell of glue and paint. Trannie tuned to LM Radio (that cesspit of music transmitting from beyond our borders). Knowledgably discussing important things about which we knew nothing . Happy Birthday John!”

This is the sound of the late sixties: bluesy, heavy groove and folk-inspired singing. Dope!

That weird, brief, period where Status Quo weren't awful.   2

Almost becomes a guilty pleasure given some of their later contributions to popular music but this is a stone cold classic.   1
