Spare Parts

1969 studio album by Status Quo

Spare Parts is the second studio album by the English rock band Status Quo, and their final one in the psychedelic vein. It is the first album to feature songwriting contributions from the band`s road manager Bob Young. Released in September 1969, it was not a commercial success.

The only single released from the album was the Anthony King–written song "Are You Growing Tired of My Love", backed with the Alan Lancaster composition "So Ends Another Life". Released in April 1969, it reached no. 46 on the UK singles charts.

At the same time as the album`s release in September 1969, the band released a non-album single – the Everly Brothers` "The Price of Love" with the album track "Little Miss Nothing", written by Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, as the B-side.
