1998 THE
SINGLES COLLECTION 1966-73 (Castle Communications CCS CD 821) Double CD compilation
release with the tracks digitally remastered. Disc One was made up of the Pye recorded
singles (both 'a' & 'b' sides) as Status Quo. "Railroad" was also included
split into two parts from the German single. Disc Two included The Spectres and Traffic
Jam singles (again both 'a' & 'b' sides) together with a number of previously unissued
recordings. "Walking With My Angel" and "When He Passed By" were
recordings made by The Spectres which had previously never been issued. "Walking With
My Angel" had been originally recorded by Bobby Vee in 1961 as the b-side to his
"Run To Him" single and "When He Passed You By" was the first song
that Alan Lancaster wrote. The recording of "Spicks And Specks" was also made by
The Spectres and was quite different from the version recorded by Quo for their
"Picturesque Matchstickable Messages" album in 1968. The alternative versions of
"Neighbour, Neighbour" (a later recording made as Status Quo), "Pictures Of
Matchstick Men", "The Price Of Love", "José", "Time To
Fly", "Nanana" and "Something Going On In My Head" were not very
different from original issued recordings. "Gerdundula" was an instrumental
version of the original recording of the song, the recordings of "Tune To The
Music" were different backing tracks without any vocals and "Is It Really
Me?" / "Gotta Go Home" was reduced to five and a half minutes (compared to
the nearly seven minute recording on "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon" album).
"Laughing Machine" was simply a longer extract of the 'laughing' included on the
"Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon" album. Released on the 22nd. June 1998 and re-issued
on the 18th September 2000 on the Castle Music label (CMDDD015). Disc 1 -
