Status Quo er et britisk rockeband som ble startet i London som The Scorpions i 1962 av bassisten Alan Lancaster og gitaristen Francis Rossi mens de enda var skolegutter. Etter endel bytting av bandmedlemmer, blant annet inntak av Rick Parfitt i 1967, ble bandet kalt The Status Quo i 1967 og Status Quo i 1969.

Musikken karakteriseres av boogie eller som ukomplisert, dansbar rock. Navnet er latin og betyr «uforandret tilstand», noe som også har vært karakteristisk for bandets historie.

Deres første singel, «Pictures of Matchstick Men» fra 1968, nådde 8.-plass på de britiske salgslistene. De har også hatt gode plasseringer med «What You're Proposing» i 1980, «In the Army Now» i 1986, «The Anniversary Waltz» i 1990 og flere andre.

Gruppen har hatt flere hits enn noe annet band i Storbritannia med sine pr. 2013 hundre singelutgivelser. Fler enn 60 av deres singleplater nådde førsteplass i Storbritannia. I 2008 var bandet å høre sammen med det tyske dance-bandet Scooter på låta «Jump That Rock (Whatever You Want)» som er en Jumpstyle-versjon av «Whatever You Want» fra 1979.

Parfitt som var et viktig medlem av Status Quo hadde sluttet i i bandet to måneder før han døde.

Status Quo har gitt ut 34 studioalbum, 12 konsertalbum og over 100 singler.

Dette nye 5CD "Early Years" (1966-69) bokssettet inneholder: Mono- og stereoremastrede versjoner av to originale Status Quo-album: "Picturesque" & "Spare Parts", singler med både A- og B-sider.
