STATUS QUO Rock 'Til You Drop - The Event (Cast your mind back to
the early 1990s, things were not going that well for the mighty Quo.
So to promote the release of their latest album, Rock 'Til You Drop,
they came up with something truly unique. September 21st 1991 saw
the band head out on the road on a tour with a difference, they
performed four sell out British arena shows [Sheffield Arena, Glasgow
SE&CC, Birmingham NEC and Wembley Arena] in eleven hours and
eleven minutes, earning them a place in the Guinness Book of
Records.
What we have here is a quantity of items related to this
historic event, with a few extras from the period. From a vast private
collection of a former marketing director of a record company who
went on to be part of a well known British music mail order company,
which helped to promote this event)
