    This is an excellent 3CD collection of Rod Stewart's first five solo albums as well as singles from the era and 5 songs recorded in the era which originally saw release on a 1995 compilation called Handbags & Gladrags (link for anyone interested: https://www.discogs.com/Rod-Stewart-Handbags-Gladrags/release/3397049 ). Everything is sequenced in the order it was originally released and each album is in chronological order so this serves as a definitive collection for all of Rod's early work on the Mercury label.
