This is every recording that Rod did for Mercury records. His first two solo albums, an old raincoat won't let you down and Gasoline Alley point to things to come. A great mix of originals and covers. Disc 2 contains the monumental Every picture tells a story and Never a dull moment. These two albums are the best things he's ever done. What a singer, what a band. Disc 3 contains the patchy Smiler album. He tries but apart from Farewell there isn't much to recommend disc 3 (most likely you'll be playing disc 2 the most).
