NEWS - FROM FRANCIS ROSSI'S PERSONAL ARCHIVE:  A FASCINATING COLLECTION OF  PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED DEMO RECORDINGS "The Way We Were Vol. 1"

This 17-track album is an illuminating collection of previously unreleased demo recordings, all taken from his own personal archive, and written by the powerhouse songwriting team of Francis Rossi and Bob Young. Five songs are previously unreleased, and have never before been heard outside the studio, whilst others went on to appear on a Status Quo or Francis Rossi album. These early versions capture the purity of the initial ideas and provide a fascinating window onto the creative process that they then underwent, as they evolved into a final version.

There are songs featured that went on to appear on a series of Status Quo albums: 2002’s ‘Heavy Traffic’, 2005’s ‘The Party Ain’t Over Yet’, 2004’s ‘XS All Areas’, ‘In Search Of The Fourth Chord’ (2007), and Francis’ well-received second solo album of 2010 ‘One Step At A Time’.
