Fortunatissima e caratterizzata da innumerevoli picchi creativi e commerciali, la carriera solista di Rod Stewart post Faces e successiva ai primi cinque titoli pubblicati dalla Mercury viene riassunta in questo cofanetto di 14 CD che copre il periodo che lo scozzese ha trascorso presso la Warner Brothers ed etichette collegate (1975-2011) sfornando hits a ripetizione e conseguendo dischi di platino in tre decenni successivi. E' 'Atlantic Crossing' (l'album del 1975 con le celeberrime cover di 'Sailing' dei Sutherland Brothers e di 'I Don't Want To Talk About It' dei Crazy Horse) ad aprire la straordinaria sequenza che prosegue con 'Night On The Town' (1976,?con 'Tonight's The Night' e la 'First Cut Is The Deepest' di Cat Stevens), 'Foot Loose And Fancy Free' (1977, tra hard, funk e progressive, con 'Hot Legs'), 'Blondies Have More Fun' (1978, con il celeberrimo disco hit 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy'), 'Foolish Behaviour' (1980, quattro singoli tra cui 'Passion'), 'Tonight I'm Yours' (1981, tra rock, pop e new wave e 45 giri di successo come la title track e 'Young Turks'), 'Body Wishes' (1983, contenente 'Baby Jane'), 'Camouflage' (1984; tre singoli tra cui una cover di 'All Right Now' dei Free), 'Every Beat Of My Heart' (1986, con 'Love Touch' e 'In My Life'), 'Out Of Order' (1988, coprodotto da Stewart con membri dei Power Station), 'Vagabond Heart' (1991, contenente le cover di 'Have I Told You Lately' di Van Morrison e di 'Broken Arrow' di Robbie Robertson, oltre a due altri grandi successi come 'Rhythm Of My Heart' e 'The Motown Song'), 'A Spanner In The Works' (1995, con 'Purple Heather' e 'Sweetheart Like You' di Bob Dylan), 'When We Were The New Boys' (1998, con la tilte track, 'Rocks' e la 'Ooh La La' gia' incisa con i Faces) e 'Human' (2001, unica pubblicazione su etichetta Atlantic contenente il singolo 'I Can't Deny It')
