We'd like to introduce you now to a group with its very first hit in the charts, Status Quo.
Now, fellas, this disc of yours makes great use of the technique called phasing.
Now, we can do that for you in the studio, but what do you do about it on stage?
Well, it's done with a couple of tape recorders, you know, we've got two big tape recorders on stage.
We, you know, turn the, um, the sort of on, I can't explain it really, what happens,
but they go round and hit one another, and it comes out.
So you play one track and there's one already there, is that what you mean?
That's right, yeah.
Great. Do you find that you have to do this with other numbers?
Come on, a man here holding his head, don't you agree with all that?
Oh, yeah, I agree, yes, definitely, definitely, yeah.
What about the success of the record? I mean, you've been struggling for quite a while, haven't you?
Five years, to be exact.
Yeah, and is it all suddenly happening?
Yeah, all in one go.
And what does I hear about an LP with a funny title?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, great.
I can't say it.
Picturesque, matchstickable from Status Quo.
Something like that.
Well, I'm sure that's...
That was a tremendous plug.
So, do you know what?
Make amends by playing for us now, pictures of matchstick men, will you do that?
Certainly.
Thanks.
