Story & Background
"Never a Dull Moment," released in this crucial 1972 with its original 1ST print, crystallises a fascinating and incredibly complex moment in Rod Stewart's career. Although it was a solo album under the Mercury label, much of its irresistible groove and unmistakable energy stemmed from the extensive participation of Faces members, such as Ron Wood on guitar and Ian McLagan on keyboards. This musical synergy, while generating masterpieces, further highlighted and amplified the growing disparity between Rod's stratospheric success as a solo artist and the fate of his band. The album definitively consolidated his status as a global superstar, but this very ascent, magnificently documented by this first print, was one of the main causes of the internal tensions that would fatally lead to the dissolution of the Faces a few years later, making it a sonic document laden with omens and history.
