Status Quo / Perfect Remedy, Rock 'Til You Drop and Thirsty Work new CD deluxe editions

In March, Universal Music will reissue a trio of Status Quo albums first released in the late 80s and early 1990s. These new CD editions offer a generous amount of bonus material.

Perfect Remedy (1989) and its follow-up Rock ‘Til You Drop (1991) are both expanded to three-CD deluxe editions while Thirsty Work (1994) is a two CD set.

The bonus content includes B-sides, 12-inch mixes, edits, outtakes, live performances and more. All three come with booklets with new interviews with Francis Rossi and members of the band by Quo guru Dave Ling in which they discuss the making of the records.

Perfect Remedy, Rock ‘Til You Drop and Thirsty Work deluxe editions are all released on 6 March 2020.
