2007 compilation that celebrates Rod's early '70s Mercury Records output just after the left the Faces. Rod was launched onto the world stage as a member of one of the great rock 'n' roll bands of the early '70s The Faces. Not long after this, Mercury launched him as a solo artist with immediate results and thus began a hugely successful life-spanning career for the mighty Rod Stewart. This is a collection of hits from his Mercury years - not forgetting that Rod is a gifted songwriter ('Maggie May', 'You Wear It Well', 'Mandolin Wind') and a genius at interpreting the songs of masters such as Hendrix, Elton John, Chuck Berry and the Stones - and making them his own. 19 tracks.
