...You
Back to the rubbish. See tracks 1 and 2.
Track 10: Tom Traubert's Blues
Good pub style R&B.
Track 11: The First Cut Is The Deepest
If you don't know this song, I want to know what you're doing on my planet. I'm not sure of my favourite version but this is good enough to bring a tear.
Track 12: Mandolin Wind
Seminal 70's beanbags on the floor track. Meant to be done in this format.
Track 13: Highgate Shuffle
Another pub rocker. Well worth a listen.
Track 14: Stay With Me
Mid period Rod Stewart. Anthemic and requires one to be moderately pissed. Ok, but should be fully plugged for best effect.
Track 15: Having A Party
Rod tries to end with an old soul classic. Not a good idea!

...Rod Stewart…..30 Years Of Memories!!!
It was July 1971 that Rod hit No.1 with Maggie May, and he has gone on to turn out hit after hit in the thirty years after.
I remember the first time I heard Maggie May, I was in Glasgow at the time training with my first job. I was staying in a bed & breakfast and I turned on the television to watch “Top of the Pops” when this guy came on with a long scarf and feathered hair. He had a long stand up microphone, which he held in the one spot then strutted across the stage with it. He was just brilliant and with that single Rod Stewart had arrived on the pop scene .
