Status Quo ‘Official Archive Series Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt Arboretum’

The iconic Status Quo are delighted to announce the release of the third volume of the new ‘Official Archive Series’ brought to you by earMUSIC. ‘Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt’ will be released on 12 June 2024, on strictly limited and numbered 2CD and 3LP vinyl editions, as well as on digital formats. As with each forthcoming release in this series, this official and fully endorsed recording features a carefully curated selection of iconic Status Quo performances, including classic hits spanning their extensive catalog, deep cuts, and fan favorites. Each track is a testament to the band’s enduring popularity and musical prowess.
 
The ‘Official Archive Series’ will offer exceptional sound quality and great packaging throughout, featuring photography by Christie Goodwin. The Series has been freshly mixed and mastered by Eike Freese and Laurin Halberstadt at Chameleon Studios Hamburg.
 
‘Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt’ was recorded on Sunday 22 June 2008 as part of the ‘In Search Of The Fourth Chord’ UK tour. This was the tenth show of the year, and was part of the ‘Forest Live’ initiative by the Forestry Commission, and in fact was a return to the venue for the band who had performed a short run of ‘Forest Live’ shows as part of the ‘Heavy Traffic’ tour of 2003.
 
Each album in the Status Quo ‘Official Archive Series’ captures the raw energy and infectious enthusiasm of a Status Quo live performance; no matter where in the world. With their trademark sound, powerful guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks, the band delivers an unadulterated rock ’n’ roll experience, and this collectible series is a great way to celebrate one of the greatest live acts ever.
