Stewart, Rod - Never A Dull Moment

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON MERCURY 1972

Mercury SRM 1-646 made in US in gatefold cover with original inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

Essentially a harder-rocking reprise of Every Picture Tells a Story, Never a Dull Moment never quite reaches the heights of its predecessor, but it's a wonderful, multi-faceted record in its own right. Opening with the touching, autobiographical rocker "True Blue," which finds Rod Stewart trying to come to grips with his newfound stardom but concluding that he'd "rather be back home," the record is the last of Stewart's series of epic fusions of hard rock and folk. It's possible to hear Stewart go for superstardom with the hard-rocking kick and fat electric guitars of the album, but the songs still cut to the core.
