Chronologie Quid Pro Quo (2011) Bula Quo! Aquostic – Stripped Bare (2014)

Bula Quo! ist das 2013 veröffentlichte 30. Studioalbum der britischen Rockband Status Quo. Es handelt sich um ein Doppelalbum; es ist das Album zum ersten Film der Band, Bula Quo! Zugleich ist es das letzte Album mit Schlagzeuger Matt Letley, der die Band vor der Veröffentlichung verließ.

Produktion

Mike Paxman übernahm mit Francis Rossi und Rick Parfitt die Produktion. Das Album, das in den ARSIS Studios aufgenommen wurde, enthält viele Songs aus dem Film. Neben neun neuen Titeln, sind auf dem zweiten Tonträger, Studioaufnahmen von vier bereits zuvor veröffentlichten Songs enthalten. Living on an Island ist ein Remake im Stil der Insel Fidschi, was mit dem Handlungsort des Films zusammenhängt. Rockin’ All over the World wurde in einer Special Edited Version aufgenommen, während Frozen Hero und Reality Cheque dem Vorgänger-Studioalbum Quid Pro Quo (2011) entnommen wurde.

Dazu kommen Liveversionen von sechs zuvor veröffentlichten Songs, die die gesamte Karriere abdecken, von Pictures of Matchstick Men von ihrem Debütalbum Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo (1968) bis zu Beginning of the End vom Album In Search of the Fourth Chord (2007). Diese Titel wurden zwischen 2009 (von Live at Montreux 2009) und 2010 (von der CD Official Bootleg die Quid Pro Quo beilag) live aufgenommen.
