Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI  (The Best Plant in America): LP Boasts Organic Warmth and Full-Range Extension.

Rod Stewart owned the early 1970s. When he wasn’t recording great sets with the  Faces, he was redefining how folk, country, and soul music could be folded under  rock’s umbrella. Filled with first-rate originals and terrific interpretations  of classics, Every Picture Tells A Story remains Stewart’s watershed moment, a  brilliant synthesis of organic warmth, earthy tones, raucous romance, and loose  performances. Those who only know Stewart from his later evolution into a sappy  balladeer will be overwhelmed.

Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI  (the best record plant in America), MoFi Silver Labels’ numbered limited edition  LP presents the 1971 smash in the most transparent, warm, and full-range sound  the music has ever enjoyed. Stewart’s supremely soulful vocals come on with  insouciant passion and joyous persuasion, the detail allowing listeners to hear  into his lungs and feel every breath he draws. His equally superb band is  presented amidst an expanded soundstage that’s free of artificial ceilings and  harshness introduced by several digital remastering editions. The explosive  sound is akin to watching a fledgling group come into its own in a small club.

Kicking up the tempo and slightly increasing the edge from his previous solo  effort, Stewart transforms blues, folk, country, and soul into a hard-rocking  hybrid that maintains acoustic properties but isn’t afraid to step out and  report on what it’s like to have a night out on the town. Anchored by Mick  Waller’s free-swinging percussion, every song triumphs, with Stewart’s slightly  hoarse and eminently emotive vocals communicating each word as if they’re  literally sewn as hearts on his sleeve. Ron Wood’s slide guitar and gritty  chords complement the singer’s earnest conviction, and Ian McLagan’s organ adds  bittersweet accents. Nothing here is blue; Every Picture Tells A Story is a  celebration.

Stewart combines American and British folk styles on the strolling “Mandolin  Wind,” the touching song epitomizing the simple, direct approach that underpins  the entire album. On the breathless title track, Stewart embraces his inner  playboy, the tune’s likeable crude-and-rude swagger sent up on crackling rhythms  and visceral harmonies. The British native handles Bob Dylan’s “Tommorow Is Such A  Long Time” and the evergreen “That’s All Right Mama” as if he wrote them. The best  aspect of Every Picture Tells A Story relates to how genuine and believable  Stewart and his good-natured company sound throughout.

If you are a fan of rock, soul, folk, or the blues, you owe it to yourself to  have a superb copy of this timeless record that shows off its translucent and  organic tones, extraordinary vocal performances, and crack backing band. Mobile  Fidelity’s Silver Label numbered limited edition LP does just that. And it  restores one of the most iconic album covers in history. As for that “Classic  Edition” statement that’s always hovered at the top of the record? Never truer  than now.

"We had no preconceived ideas of what we were going to do," Stewart said. "We would have a few drinks and strum away and play." With a first-class band of drinking buddies (including guitarist Ron Wood and drummer Mickey Waller), Stewart made a loose, warm, compassionate album, rocking hard with mostly acoustic instruments. "Mandolin Wind" was his moving ballad of a country couple toughing out a long winter on the farm; the title tune was a hilarious goof. But Stewart scored his first Number One hit with "Maggie May," his autobiographical tale of a young stud getting kicked in the head by an older lady." - .rollingstone
