CD Description
Spare Parts is the second album by the English rock band Status Quo, and the final one in the psychedelic vein. It is also the first in which the group's roadie Bob Young began writing and co-writing songs for and with the band. The album was released in September 1969 and covers a number of songs by Carole King, including "You're Just What I Was Looking for Today", and "Velvet Curtains". This deluxe two CD edition comes re-mastered with a bonus disc of unreleased material, new notes by David Wells and a booklet full of rare photos and memorabilia.

A short review.This was their second album and almost all those who have anything to say about it ,say "terrible" I however do not agree.The group at the time was making a change to boogie woogie.Fine.The tracks on spare parts are just what one needs if one likes this Beatle-Bubble gum sort of psychedelic pop. The instrumentation and harmony is tight.Do not let the semi-critics steer you wrong!!.Enjoy the music and remember:The late sixties were a time of change.Enjoy the last of it 1969 without any nay sayers in your midst.I enjoy the songs everytime i listen.My favorites include-Face without a soul,the brass and strings are great;Mr mind detector only in that time would you hear something this wonderfully dated.Little miss nothing of course!Basically the whole album.Have fun sincerely SS

"Spare parts" was Status Quo's, second album. It is, probably, their most forgotten one. At the time of recording, the band was signed at "Pye" records, and the producer Jhon Schroder with his distinctive production- style was imposing it on the band.
If you love the early Bee Gees albums, the very early Bowie and the Move, you will Love this one. Great pop- songs with a wonderful combination of fantastic guitar-work and a full orchestra. Try "Poor old man" "Antique Angelica" and "So ends anothe life" were you will witness a clear progreassion of band mambers as songwriters, "Little miss nothing"'s with Rossi's most convincing vocal preformance, and Alan Lancastare finest "The Clown".
