STATUS QUO / ステイタス・クオー / THE EARLY YEARS VOL 2 (1970-1972), 5CD BOX SET / CD

英国が誇る国民的バンド、STATUS QUOの1970~1972年録音コンピレーション・ボックス・セットがリリース。サイケデリック路線から脱却し、シンプルかつ骨太なブギー・サウンドを確立していく過程を克明に捉えた内容で、3rdアルバム『MA KELLY’S GREASY SPOON』および4th『DOG OF TWO HEAD』を軸に、シングル、B面、アウトテイク、別ヴァージョンを包括的に収録。アルゼンチン盤『EVERYTHING』として知られる『MA KELLY’S GREASY SPOON』のレアなモノラル・ミックスも収められている点は大きな聴きどころ。さらに「DOWN THE DUSTPIPE」「IN MY CHAIR」「GERDUNDULA」などアルバム未収録の人気シングル群も網羅し、当時のバンドの勢いを余すことなく伝える。ライヴおよびセッション音源を収録したディスクからは、彼らが本質的にライヴ・バンドであったことも実感できる、初期黄金期を網羅した進化と核心に迫る充実の内容。
