The Definitive Rod Stewart

Warner Bros. will be launching an extensive reissue campaign of Rod Stewart’s legendary catalog, beginning with the November 18 release of The Definitive Rod Stewart, which spans material recorded between 1971 and 2004, and will be available in two versions: a standard two-CD edition and a deluxe edition that includes a bonus DVD of music videos.

Arranged chronologically, Rod’s early solo years are represented by several cuts (“Maggie May” “You Wear It Well”) from the unforgettable classics, Every Picture Tells A Story (1971) and Never A Dull Moment (1972). The opening disc also includes “Stay With Me,” a nod to Stewart’s time with the Faces. The second half of the disc shifts to Stewart’s Warner Bros. years with the stadium-swooning ballad, “Sailing,” the #1 smash “Tonight’s The Night (Gonna Be Alright),” the Top 10 hit “You’re In My Heart” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” from the #1 album Blondes Have More Fun (1978).

The second disc concentrates on music Stewart made during the ’80s and ’90s, including “Infatuation,” “Some Guys Have All The Luck,” “Love Touch,” “Forever Young” and a previously unreleased track entitled “Two Shades Of Blue,” recorded in 1998 during the When We Were The New Boys session.

The deluxe version of The Definitive Rod Stewart features a bonus DVD with 14 music videos for some of Rod’s most beloved songs. Spanning 1975 to 1998, the video collection includes some never-before or rarely seen videos such as “Sailing,” “The Killing of Georgie (Part I & II)” from A Night On The Town and “She Won’t Dance With Me,” along with MTV-era staples like “Hot Legs,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy,” “Young Turks,” amongst others.
