STATUS QUO On The Level (Fully Autographed 1975 UK first press 10-track vinyl LP on the Vertigo ‘spaceship’ label, immediately hitting the top spot on the album charts on release & including the classic hit ‘Down Down’. Comes housed in the original fully textured gatefold picture sleeve complete with the blue & white lyric inner. Obtained from an avid Quo fan who followed the group on their UK tours each year, the front cover is fully signed by the album’s original line-up of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster & John Coghlan in blue biro. All four signatures are clear & unhurried, beautifully offset against the optical illusion artwork depicting the legendary Quo in an Ames room in full colour. These genuinely rare complete set of period signatures remain unfaded & clearly legible & each autograph sits next to the image of each band member. It’s very hard to find a collector’s piece as good as this now, with both Rick & Alan sadly no longer with us. The cover is clean & in Excellent condition with minimal edge wear, the vinyl too is nice & clean & appears barely played. Highly recommended & fully deserving of framing, this is a strong & unique blue chip item representing top level Quo at their peak).
