Rod Stewart recorded most of his best work for Mercury records in the early 1970s before he turned his back on his folk-rock roots and unfortunately became a sex symbol. This album contains all of the great material from his first half dozen or so albums. Plenty of gems abound, including Maggie May, Handbags and Gladrags, Gasoline Alley, Mandolin Wind, Reason to Believe and many more.
