However, unknown to almost anyone, Rick had in fact virtually completed his first solo album whilst undergoing a period of recuperation after his heart attack in July. That album, poignantly titled ‘Over And Out’ will now be released on 23 March 2018 through music.
Featuring 10 brand new songs, including the title track that broke hearts anew when it was played at Rick’s funeral, this is an album of depth and passion. Created by Rick Parfitt and Producer Jo Webb, the record is a true labor of love and showcases the softer side of Rick as a writer, artist, and performer away from the Quo maelstrom as well as the purest rock and roll sound of earlier Status Quo records.
Despite the fact Rick Parfitt had finished recording his guitar and vocal parts, a recording session was planned to happen in February 2017. Certain tracks were not totally finished when Rick died.
The call to help ensure that his work could be completed so that the world could hear it was answered by musicians of the caliber of Queen’s Brian May and Muse’s Chris Wolstenholme, both of whom were close to Rick. Rick’s son, Rick Parfitt Jnr, was also involved in the creative process, as were John “Rhino” Edwards and Alan Lancaster, amongst many others. All of those involved in completing the songs that Rick had written for ‘Over And Out’ have done him proud in bringing his vision to fruition.
Ricks's music always featured two elements - the raw rock and roll sound and a great passion for melodies. “Over And Out” offers the best of both worlds.
It has been recorded and written with a band's spirit between Rick and Jo. They shared various mixes, reflecting the sound of the sessions and the spirit that was present in the “room”.
The album has also been mixed by top producer Ash Howes, offering a different view on the songs but also leaving a dilemma open for interpretation, which one would Rick prefer? The polished, big-sounding mixes or the original band mixes, raw and full of musical honesty? Those who were close enough to him over the years would probably say… “both”. This is why the album will be available in its “finished” form, but also as a raw and pure version, for the fans of the rockier side of Ricks's music in special collectors editions.
This album is the record that Rick Parfitt had been itching to write. His forced departure from Quo’s live performance circuit, whilst very hard for him to take, did at least free up the time that was needed to create ‘Over And Out’. ‘
Over And Out’ is but the latest element of the incredible legacy and body of work that Rick Parfitt leaves. A testament to his talent, his winning way with words, an incredible joie de vivre, and a spirit that never flagged. He’ll be missed but ‘Over And Out is a great way to remember him. Gone but not forgotten.

The colour is so cute, and it actually looks like the queen, with the way they have done the hair. Very impressive and will look great with my others.
Brilliant shop, chuffed to bits with the purchase, excellent packaging very safe.

A really great and underrated game, and this book does a fantastic job of explaining the world and the system in an engaging and digestible way. Highly recommended.

Very pleased, fast delivery and excellent pop!
Very happy with my purchase it's better than pictures, well packaged, a stunning piece, thank you, ...Linda x
Usually an expensive addition to the Armada game, this was a price not to be missed.
I was not disappointed. The item came quickly and was packed without damage to the product whatsoever. Would highly recommend and will happily purchase from again. Always high quality from FFG and Star Wars.
The funko was packaged very well, no defects, was exactly as pictured. I ordered the treasure goblin from Diablo 4 and it’s great, will purchase from here again!
So far this is the third adult-sized dragon in my D&D miniature collection, joining the red dragon and blue shadow dragon, in addition to the two ancients Arveiaturace and Balagos. While Balagos still reigns supreme, the lunar dragon is my favourite of the three adult dragons.
The pose is magnificent, with the wings spread wide as if either taking flight or attempting to instil fear into a mortal foe. Unlike a number of the larger dragon minis, this one does not need the tail or wings attaching separately, so you get a nice smooth finish to the mini without any join lines.
The paint job is understated but beautiful. The majority of the dragon is white/pale grey, but with the underside of the wings given a light dusting of a pinkish brown.
Overall, Wizkids have excelled themselves with this one, and I'd recommend it to anyone running a Spelljammer campaign, or just looking for a new imposing D&D adversary (or ally!) in their game.
