Description
Piledriver is the fifth studio album by Status Quo and a landmark release in the band’s career. Originally released in December 1972, it was their first album for Vertigo Records following their departure from Pye Records and marked the beginning of the classic hard-driving rock sound for which the band became renowned.
The album features the classic single “Paper Plane”, alongside favourites including “Don’t Waste My Time”, “Big Fat Mama” and Status Quo’s energetic interpretation of The Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues”.
With its blues-influenced boogie rock, heavy guitar sound and powerful rhythm section, Piledriver is widely regarded as one of the key albums from Status Quo’s early-1970s period.

Pressing Notes

The original edition was housed in a matt gatefold picture sleeve with the lyrics printed inside and was issued with the distinctive Vertigo swirl inner sleeve.
