Story & Background
The phenomenal success of "Every Picture Tells a Story" in 1971, a 1ST pressing on Mercury, is inextricably linked to a peculiar initial short-sightedness on the part of the label. When the promotional single was distributed, the record company chose "Reason to Believe" as the A-side, relegating the now iconic "Maggie May" to a mere B-side. It was the exceptional intuition of many radio DJs, particularly in the United States, that turned the tables: ignoring the official designation, they began to incessantly broadcast "Maggie May". This spontaneous and massive radio rotation catapulted the track, against all odds, to the top of the British and American charts. A resounding and unexpected success that not only consecrated Rod Stewart as a definitive solo superstar beyond the Faces, but also elevated "Maggie May" to an emblematic track, a testament to the power of word-of-mouth and the authentic taste of the public.
