STATUS QUO - Blue For You German Release 12" Vinyl LP Album album front cover

Album Description:

"Blue for You" is the ninth studio album by British rock band Status Quo, originally released in 1976. The German release of the album features the same nine tracks as the original UK release, with a slight variation in the track order. The album is considered a classic work in the band's discography, blending the band's signature boogie rock sound with blues and pop influences.

Side One:
The album's opening track, "Is There a Better Way," is a high-energy rocker that features the band's trademark driving rhythm guitar and catchy melodies. "Mad About the Boy" and "Ring of a Change" are more bluesy numbers, with powerful vocal performances and soulful guitar solos. "Blue for You" is a standout ballad that showcases the band's ability to create emotional and introspective music. "Rain" closes out Side One with its infectious rhythm and sing-along chorus.

Side Two:
"Rolling Home" kicks off Side Two with its upbeat rhythm and memorable chorus. "That's a Fact" is another bluesy number, with gritty vocals and scorching guitar riffs. "Ease Your Mind" is a more laid-back track, with a relaxed groove and soulful vocal performance. The album closes with the epic "Mystery Song," a six-and-a-half-minute track that features a blistering guitar solo and driving rhythm section.

"Blue for You" was a commercial and critical success for Status Quo, reaching #1 on the UK album charts and helping to establish the band as one of the leading acts in the British rock scene. The German release of the album helped to expand the band's audience in Europe and introduced their sound to new fans. The album's blend of blues, pop, and hard rock influences has helped to influence the evolution of rock music.
