The best available Rod Stewart albumRod 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. I would give this disc the nod over the box set "Downtown Train," if only because I find Stewart's later material so maddeningly inconsistent.

slight disappointmentI found this album somewhat of a disappointment. Since I am not a die-hard fan I find myself skipping over many songs that I have not heard to get to the "gems". I probably would actually be happier with a stripped down version of this cd that included a few of his later hits.
