Status Quo are an English rock band known for their brand of boogie rock. The group originated in The Spectres, founded by schoolboys Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster in 1962. After a number of lineup changes, which included the introduction of Rick Parfitt in 1967, the band became The Status Quo in 1967 and Status Quo in 1969.
Back to Back is the sixteenth studio album by British rock band Status Quo and released in November 1983. For the first time in the group’s history, it featured four singles, “Ol’ Rag Blues” (highest position No. 9), “A Mess of Blues”, originally a hit for Elvis Presley (No. 15), “Marguerita Time” (No. 3), and “Going Down Town Tonight” (which reached No. 20 in a different, re-recorded version to the album version.) The album entered the UK chart at its highest position of No. 9.
