“Pictures Of Matchstick Men” #12 8/3/1968

Status Quo had 22 Top 10 singles in their native UK, but this trippy tune was their sole American hit. While this was released to the US market, the Quo concentrated on promoting their music at home instead. That strategy paid off, as they were wildly successful in Britain as a rockin’ band into the early 2000’s. That whooshing sound on the record was called phasing, and was missing from the stereo mix.
