Rod Stewart’s debut, contractual obligation album, features Ronnie on every track, playing guitar, bottleneck guitar, bass guitar, and even harmonica on the song, ‘Dirty Old Town’. Tracks include a cover of Ronnie’s future bandmates’ 1968 single, ‘Street Fighting Man’, and a spellbinding version of Mike D’Abo’s ‘Handbags And Gladrags’. Ronnie is quite rightly credited in the sleeve notes as Ronald ‘Good Looking’ Wood. Other personnel on the album include fellow Face, Ian McLagan, and fresh from the Nice, Keith Emerson, who would go on to form Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the following year.
