Recorded over 3 nights at the legendary Glasgow Apollo, Live is regarded as one of the most classic live rock albums of the seventies. It shows Status quo at their loudest; noisiest; and at their peak.Live! Was the first live album that Status Quo released commercially. The album is an amalgam of performances at the Glasgow Apollo Theatre between 27 and the 29th October 1976, with the band deciding on the best takes from all three nights worth of concerts. It was recorded using the Rolling Stones’ Mobile Studio (also known as the RSM), a recording studio that was built inside a DAF F1600 turbo truck that was once owned by the Rolling Stones. This 8CD version contains the original album which has been newly mastered but contains the original mixes, as well as the rest of the shows from the 27th, 28th and 29th October 1976 which have never before been released in their entirety. The track list reflects the full sets in the order they were performed on the night. The audio has been mixed and mastered from newly discovered multi-track tapes (one was in a mislabelled box marked Peters and Lee) discovered after some forensic tape library work by Andy Gamble. The audio has been approved by Francis Rossi, who wasn’t particularly happy with the audio quality of the first album but has since given this project his personal seal of approval. The audio has been newly mixed from the source 24 tracks and remastered at AVP Productions Ltd. The 7” boxset contains new sleeve notes by Classic Rock’s Dave Ling, chronicling the making of the record and the impact that it had on release. The booklet is crammed with biographical information, photography and memorabilia from the show and rounded off with a bonus article from Andy Gamble (AVP Studios) about the mastering processes and sound engineering behind the release.
