Thanks for the share. Honestly, I think Rod should have left this one alone - his rendition of this 'classic track' from the Stones just doesn't come close to the original. Melanie's cover (being female) had a refreshing feel to it and was accepted well, but Rod's version here is nothing special and just makes one crave to hear the original again. Sorry! The remaining 3 tracks on this EP are his original recordings and are therefore enjoyable. Thankfully, Rod did not choose to re-record these tracks and end up butchering them, as most artists do the second time around. Nice EP cover shot - typical Rod Stewart
Exactly my thoughts Guy was looking forward to hearing Ruby Tuesday when I got this but was a bit dissapointed might have done a better job if he had recorded it back the early 70's when he did a much better job of covering other people's tunes.
