Rod today announced the release of a new five-LP vinyl box set called simply Rod Stewart 1975-1978. The set from Rhino features Rod’s first four Warner albums on vinyl and a bonus record of rarities.

All the albums – Atlantic Crossing (1975), A Night on the Town (1976), Footloose & Fancy Free (1977), and Blondes Have More Fun (1978) have been remastered.

The bonus LP is called Encores 1975-1978, is a collection of 10 outtakes selected from the recording sessions for all four albums. The first side features outtakes that were issued on the 2009 deluxe 2CD reissues of Atlantic Crossing and A Night On The Town while the second side offers five previously unreleased session outtakes from Foot Loose & Fancy Free and Blondes Have More Fun including a cover of ‘You Really Got A Hold On Me’ and the unreleased tracks ‘Silver Tongue’ and ‘Don’t Hang Up’.

The vinyl records come packaged in an iridescent box with Rod Stewart foil-stamped on the cover, his blonde shaggy haircut in gold and his leopard-print suit shimmering in silver!

“It’s extraordinary for me to look back on this era of my career,” Stewart said of the box set in a statement. “I think fans will enjoy experiencing these songs on vinyl. I know I did.”
