The Way We Were Vol. 1 [CD]

Francis Rossi - The Way We Were Vol. 1 [CD]

Francis Rossi is the founder, songwriter, guitarist, and singer of Status Quo, as well as a solo artist. Together with Rick Parfitt, he has been part of one of the most successful and iconic duos in rock and roll history for decades. With a career built on remarkable success, the music of Status Quo has remained true to its essence over the years. This 17-track album is an illuminating collection of previously unreleased demo recordings, all taken from Francis Rossi's own personal archive, and written by the powerhouse songwriting team of Francis Rossi and Bob Young. Five songs are previously unreleased, and have never before been heard outside the studio, whilst others went on to appear on a Status Quo or Francis Rossi album. These early versions capture the purity of the initial ideas, and provide a fascinating window onto the creative process that they then underwent, as they evolved into a final version.
