some rock stars have it and some never will,but for rod stewart ,hes in a class all alone .hes the best when he came out with bodywhishes,he out did his self this record is very hard to get its not sold in stores been there done that.it cant be ordered through any stores its an import and if you dont have it ya need to own it .this is a class of art here and no one can compare to the mod,so sing it again rod

Rod again makes this import cd worth the wait and the purchase. Stand out songs are the title track, "Body Wishes", "Dancin'Alone", and who can forget "Baby Jane". I will sum up this album in two words: Vintage Rod!!!

It was not long ago (the memories never fade) when everybody danced Baby Jane at the summer clubs of Myconos and Skiathos. Best dance hit ever in Rod's best album.

I have always enjoyed Rod Stewart's singles but never his whole albums -Body Wishes is the exception. I remember when this record was released in the summer of 1983 ( I was only 13) and loved the singles and videos for Baby Jane and What Am I Gonna Do. I didn't buy the album on vinyl until 1986. Initially I was not impressed but really came to love it and to this day still do. Every song is a winner and was written and recorded by Rod and his band and in my opinion is his best to date despite poor record sales and reviews to the contrary. It's a shame this album has been out of print in the US since the mid 80's and has never been released on CD. I am happy to have this import copy thanks to Amazon. Definately a great buy.

The best song on this CD is the opener, "Dancin' Alone," a rocking original that Rod didn't throw together in about two minutes like he did the rest of the album. "Baby Jane" is good, as is "Satisfied" but the rest of the CD is filler featuring annoying songs with trite lyrics, sloppy playing and lazy singing. It contains 3 of the very worst Rod Stewart written songs ever, "Move Me," "Ghetto Blaster" and the title track ("Somebody's cherries need picking" PUhlllease Rod,.....). As for "Sweet Surrender," it has a nice country groove but listen to the lyrics and the song becomes pointless. Considering Rod Stewart really is a fine songwriter, the album is a major disappointment, which explains why it snapped Rod's long U.S. streak of platinum albums.

I first heard this album in 1983 while living in Germany. I felt it was one of his best. The title track, Body Wishes, and Baby Jane are absolutely wonderful. The kind of songs that stay in your head forever. For 15 years I've looked for this album in the States and couldn't find it. Now that it's available here on CD, I'll definitely add it to my collection.

I have this album but can't play because I don't own a turn table. I was thrilled to see this in CD form. It has been years, and I still remember all the words. Some of the songs on this CD are almost "country" which I love to see the range of music only Rod could pull off. Thank you!! Excellent Classic Rod!

I really enjoyed this Album the sound quality is excellant.this music brought my back to my youth mid teens that is I grew up listening to this artist along with kiss,journey and shawn.cassidy.I was pleased to see that Amazon.com is one place I can go to for the hard to find music that I love and,the prices are excellant.most sellers have good quality items I always buy 97% to 100% best quality items.

The fact this is from the early 80's and had Rod doing pop does not mean this album should be allowed to fade away. This has some of his best songs ever, Baby Jane, What am I gonna do?, Sweet Surrender, Satisfied are all top quality and everything else is great to listen to as well. I heard this album as a kid back on release, (doesn't neccessarily make me biased) but it stills sounds great to me.
