Chi conosce l'hard rock-boogie degli Status Quo? Bene. Chi sa invece che all'inizio gli Status Quo proponevano tutt altro genera musicale?
Siamo nel 1969. Dopo l'impronunciabile debutto 'Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From Status Quo'', meraviglioso esempio tardo pop psichedelico che lanciarono sul mercato il gruppo di Francis Rossi e soci, gli Status Quo tornano a incidere.
'Spare Parts' riprende le orme del predecessore. Si tratta di un altro monumentale esempio di pop psichedelico di matrice americana. Il suono risulta poco datato, la qualità sembra davvero attuale. Brani leggeri e sulla linea tra il pop e la psichedelia, strumentalmente perfetti e vocalmente aromonici. Tra i tanti successi 'Are You Growing Tired Of My Life', 'Velvet Curtains' e la strepitosa 'The Clown'. Il songwiting mai banale rende questo disco una delle vette degli Status Quo, che decisero qualche mese dopo di darsi all'hard rock da stadio. Saranno sicuramente entrati piu soldoni, ma la produzione successiva non ha niente a che vedere coi due monumentali album precedenti.
Per chi crede (davvero) di sapere tutto degli anni 60.

03 Are You Growing Tired of My Love (03:35)
You never seem, seem to have the time to listen to what I say
How can I know just what goes on in your mind if you always walk away
So what's the good, what's the good of trying
And hanging around you begging for your love
When it seems theres someone else in your dreams
And I can't be sure of you anymore
Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?
And when we meet, things are not the same now, you always hurry away
And all the friends that once you used to share with me are ignored now,
and you're bored now
I guess we're through, but still I go on hoping
Because you never put it into words
Can't you see you should be honest with me
And I've got to find what is in your mind
Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love.....
12 Nothing at All (03:51)
There's a man sitting in a concrete room
In a place full of emptiness and gloom
With his head in his hands he's far away
It's a long time ago since yesterday
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
As a boy he had made so many friends
Now they're gone loneliness just never ends
And in that cold concrete room he trials the day
Yes, the price of a life is hard to pay
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
Close your eyes, there's nothing more to see
Close your eyes and thank the world you're free
There's a man sitting in a concrete room
In a place full of emptiness and gloom
With his head in his hands he's far away
It's a long time ago since yesterday
And now his hands catch the tears that start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands catch the tears that start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands, like the tears start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
Yes, now his hands, like the tears start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of nothing at all
Yes, now his hands.....
