Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Golden Hour Of Status Quo" is an early compilation album that captures Status Quo's evolving sound during their formative years, from their psychedelic pop beginnings to their emergence as a hard-hitting boogie-rock powerhouse. Released in 1973, this album would typically feature a selection of their early singles and album tracks, including their psychedelic hit "Pictures of Matchstick Men," as well as key tracks that foreshadowed or fully embraced their signature blues-rock boogie, such as "Down The Dustpipe" and early album cuts from Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon or Dog of Two Head. The "Golden Hour" series was common for compilations in the UK, offering an hour's worth of a band's best material. This album provides a valuable snapshot of Status Quo's journey from a mod/psych band to the no-frills, riff-driven rock 'n' roll act that would dominate the charts for decades
