Rod Stewart – Foot Loose & Fancy Free

In reference to a Cinram #910821C CWD-3092 edition. Likely, this is exactly the way it is supposed to sound. Easily some of Rod's best songwriting but the covers just fall flat, to near cringe.

Who says you can't find anything good in the Amoeba clearance section in 2023? $3 and record is in VG+ with a VG cover!

This record SOUNDS fantastic. I know the hits, looking forward to learning the deep cuts. (So far Born Loose is a bop!!)

An album mixed by Andy Johns, produced by Tom Dowd cannot be bad. The legendary Phil Chen got a writing credit. John Mayall plays harp. Carmine Appice brought his sticks and a beat or two, plus You Keep Me Hangin' On... A couple huge singles.
It is an album that still sounds great today and has not dated at all. Critics? Well... critics did not like Led Zeppelin's early albums. Critics are not to be taken seriously, not in the late 60s and the 70s at least.
I keep going back to this album. It is well-thought out and all musicians put their hearts and souls in it.

Love this album! Sure, it isn’t as heavy as his earlier stuff, but they’re still great songs!

I’ve never seen a record with both the booklet and the inner sleeve. The copy I have came with a plain white inner-sleeve and the booklet. I know it’s the original inner because the jacket, booklet and inner all have a hole punch in them. Were they actually sold together with the album? I’m sure they were, but it would make some sense if they weren’t.

Trying to figure out what I have. BSK-1-3092 JW 6 and BSK-2-3092 JW 11. The middle of the disk doesn't have the palm tree image though. Just a big WB Records logo at the top and Grayed out WB Records logo in the background. Anyone have any thoughts?

Should the Italian releases come with printed inner sleeve or just the booklet?

Variant 1 side 1 matches my side 1 but my side 2 is close but has LW6 which is Los angeles pressing instead of JW3

Why no love for this or really any of Rod's records? This one is a real banger, great soundstage and balance overall. Not to mention great songwriting and energy. Diverse songs and instrumentation.

My matrix:
Side A: RVLP 5 A3
Side B: RVLP 5 B4
