I bought this compilation as it included (unlike others) 'Passion', in my opinion one of the BEST. I guess Rod S is a middle of the road songster, but sometimes he goes (not often enough) for the hard shoulder. It's the voice, or quality thereof that's the attraction, sometimes it's that that counts. What is amazing with regard to his back catalogue, are the number of solid pieces of work you'd forgotten. They're all here, as they say, enjoy.
Not a bad album at all. I really didn't like Rod when I was younger as my music was all Disco, but as you get older your taste changes and become more tolerant of the music you hated. I always thought he had a 'voice like sand and glue'! (David Bowie)
