Two south London fellows called [a=Alan Lancaster] (bass) and [a=Francis Rossi] (guitar - known as [a5373623] during the band's early years) founded the band in 1962. First name The Paladins soon changed to [a=The Spectres (2)] (another previously-documented early name, The Scorpions, is disputed). 
In 1966, the band changed their name to "The Traffic", shortly thereafter to [a=The Traffic Jam (2)]. The lineup consisted of Lancaster, Rossi, [a=John Coghlan] (drums) and [a=Roy Lynes] (keyboard).
A year later, the band changed name once again to "The Status Quo". [a=Rick Parfitt] (guitar) joined the band. Their first hit record, "Pictures of Matchstick Men", was released. "The" was omitted from the name of the band in 1969, known thereafter as just "Status Quo"

This is good early Quo material, compiled in the late 1960s when the band was with Pye. Quo – Mania was in full effect. Things change fast in the pop music world but what clearly hasn't changed over the years is the sheer energy, hard graft, application and dedication of four guys who called themselves Status Quo but in fact helped change the whole face of rock/pop with a sharp injection of heavy metal..
