Rocking All Over the Years is a compilation album by English rock band Status Quo. The album contains all Quo's UK top 10 singles, including the new "Anniversary Waltz (Part One)", a medley of classic rock and roll songs to celebrate the 25th anniversary of band members Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt first meeting each other. A second rock and roll medley, "Anniversary Waltz (Part Two)", was issued as a single later in 1990.
