Needs remastering, December 26, 2000
This review is from: Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
This collection is great, but it really does need to be remastered or something. The sound quality is not the best. A lot lower than other cds, so not a good one to have in a mix and put on random, as you will have to turn up the volume for every song that comes up from this album. Better to be played by itself, so you can turn up the volume and not worry. Apart from that there are some good songs here, great songs even, and I'm sure most fans of Rod would love this cd.

Rod the mod., January 22, 2006
This review is from: Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
At this point, there are numerous collections out of Rod Stewart. This original "Greatest Hits" has alot of the good stuff, but since it was a vinyl era release, we only get 10 tracks. Even twice the number of songs would still be the basics. This disc also needs remastering desperately. It plays much quieter than most of my other CDs. I wont even begin to mention what's missing here, I'll just say that the most casual fan would still enjoy this. Anyone else should look into "The Very Best Of", or even the "Downtown Train" collection.

Doesn't Match Up with the Title, June 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Rod Stewart had charted 20 singles when this CD was put out, and in retrospect, the 10 chosen for the album simply don't hold up well. "Maggie May" is the only genuine hit released between 1971 - 6 that makes it onto the CD, leaving out such popular favorites as "Reason to Believe," "I Know I'm Losing You," "You Wear It Well," "Twisting the Night Away," and "This Old Heart of Mine." But that's just one problem: Rod's biggest hit ever, "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)," is trimmed down considerably, ousting the French whispers supplied on the original version by Britt Ekland. Also, some non-top 40 tracks somehow made the cut: "Sailing" and "I Don't Want to Talk About It," which are fine, but certainly not worthy enough to be on a CD bearing this title. Dedicated Rod fanatics should get the originals.
