    Oh dear, I love Alan, though he told a few half truths in this interview. He was very evasive and danced around the truth in this interview. He may have had a 'smoke' before the interview. They were called The Paladins (1962–1963) The Spectres (1963–1967) Traffic, then Traffic Jam for a short period in (1967) Then it was The Status Quo until they dropped The out of the name and they changed their name to STATUS QUO in August 1967, just after Rick Parfitt joined. Alan had already left Status Quo by 1984, it was an acrimonious split as well. The Tour of Japan, USA and Australia never happened. Alan returned to play at LIVE AID in 1985 and the Reunion gigs in 2013/2014. The court case allowed Rossi and Parfitt to keep the Band's name and they continued on with Rhino Edwards and Jeff Rich who had been recording on an unreleased Rick Parfitt album. Andy Bown had already been in the Band for many years. Both Rhino and Andy play with Francis Rossi to this day........ Alan went on to play in The Lancaster Bombers, The Lancaster/Brewster Band and The Party Boys in Australia. RIP - Alan Lancaster one of the most genuine Rockers of all time. RIP - Rick Parfitt the greatest Rhythm Guitarist of all time.
