Pre-Order 25/09/26 - Rossi, Francis: The Way We Were Vol. 2 (Vinyl LP)

This item is available for pre-order only and will be dispatched on or around its release date (25/09/26)

Following the critical and commercial success of "The Way We Were Vol. 1" and the acclaimed studio album "The Accidental", Francis Rossi once again opens his private archive for The Way We Were Vol. 2.

As with the first volume, listeners are given access to the intimate, original recordings of compositions that would later evolve into Status Quo classics or Francis Rossi solo tracks. A unique opportunity to experience these songs in their purest form, capturing the initial ideas and emotions before production and further contributions shaped the final releases.

Known for his perfectionism, Rossi’s decision to share these recordings underlines just how much these compositions mean to him. Fans will appreciate both the raw rock energy that drives many of the tracks and the more reflective acoustic moments, all rooted in the timeless spirit of rock ’n’ roll.

"The Way We Were Vol. 1" was widely recognized for offering a fascinating insight into Rossi’s songwriting process. With Volume 2, that journey continues, bringing listeners even closer to the songs, the stories, and the artist behind them.
