"The Anniversary Waltz" is the name of two medley singles released by the British Rock band Status Quo in 1990.[1]

It was divided into two parts for release as a single in 1990. "Part One" was the bigger hit, reaching number two in the UK Singles Chart. This song is a medley of many hit songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. One of the songs performed, Dion's "The Wanderer" had previously been covered by Status Quo in 1984.

Both parts of "The Anniversary Waltz" were recorded live in the studio. The sleeves for all formats feature the legend 'It's Live Sonny' which was included (together with a small sketch of a rabbit) in answer to critics who had likened Anniversary Waltz to previous releases by Jive Bunny, therefore; 'Jive Bunny - It's Live Sonny'.

The first batch contained two photos of Rick Parfitt instead of one of Parfitt and one of Jeff Rich. Due to a pressing error, some 12 inch copies included live versions of "Little Lady" and "Paper Plane"; these were intended to be B-sides of the cancelled release of the re-mixed version of "The Power of Rock".
