If you are like me and love the early stuff of Rod the Mod when he was with Faces and you own vinyl such as "every picture tells a stoy" or "never a dull moment" then buy this compilation with confidence. The remastering is very good and worth every penny spent.I never was one for Rods stuff in the later years so this fits into my collection of British Invasion artists perfectly. Lets all hope Rod continues to reach back into his earlier years as he seems to be of recent.

If you're a die-hard Rod fan, you'll want to purchase his box sets, or even better, every single album he put out. If you're just the casual listener interested in hearing Rod before he changed his musical style, this CD is definitely a great purchase. Every well-known (or noteworthy) song he did during the Mercury-era is here, and they are all pure listening enjoyment. Rod's husky vocals, the awesome electric guitars, and the gorgeous fiddles and mandolins make each song--fast or slow--classics in their own unique right.

This music is Stewart's classic material from the early and mid 70's...when rock and blues were mixed with his terrific voice. I would also recommend Atlantic Crossing, although none of it's music is included in this collection. Later collections (through the late-70's and 80's) are really inferior to what we have on this CD.

It is one of the best collection of rod stewart songs I've seen.
and it has great tracks like twistin the night away and true blue

Are you a real Rod Stewart FAN?...well then is ok to buy this album, it contains the very beginning music from this singer.. YOU CAN HEAR THE EVOLUTION...but if you are looking for the commercial hits from the 80s, This album may be disappointing ...altough this cd is the oportunity to obtain in one album THE ROD STEWART¨S ROOTS.

Wish their was more information about the music on this cd as I already have a large Rod Stewart Collection. This was a repeat in music for me. Would recommend to others. Good vendor.

There are no Faces tracks on this CD because the Faces were on a different label. There is nothing after Rod's Mercury years because MCA does not own the rights to any of the other stuff. Given that, this is an okay selection of music from when Rod was ripping off Ronnie Lane, one of his band-mates in The Faces. Surely this is some of the only Rod Stewart music that doesn't make me want to throw my stereo at his face. There are better collections of Rod's "Stuff that doesn't make J. want to throw his stereo at my face" era tho'.
