Before he threw his talent away in the mid-1970s, Rod Stewart was a rock star to be reckoned with. His sandpaper and whiskey throated vocals were the perfect vehicle for the blues-rock sound he pursued in the '60s with various bands, including the Jeff Beck Group. On his own, Stewart came up with something even more potent, mixing electric instruments with mandolins, acoustic guitars, and fiddles on songs such as "Maggie May," "You Wear It Well," and his gorgeous reading of Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe." This collection is limited to Stewart's brief time at Mercury Records in the early '70s, but that's fine, since that period saw the release of his best albums overall: The Rod Stewart Album, Gasoline Alley, Every Picture Tells a Story, and Never a Dull Moment. His biggest smashes from that time are here along with lower-charting but equally fine fare such as "Twistin' the Night Away," "Country Comforts," and "It's All Over Now." --Daniel Durchholz

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.
 NOT ESSENTIAL, BUT GOOD ENOUGH May 23, 2005

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.
 An Adequate Comp. From His Good Years. February 2, 2005

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'.

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.
