Rrequest: Rod Stewart Stand Back

[zzagar]

Would be someone be nice enough to send me (e-mail: [email protected]) a copy of Rod Stewart's "Stand Back"?

I lost my copy a long time ago and a friend doesn't believe me that it exists.

Rod's Version of Stand Back:

To quote the album booklet

"I've always admired the primitive rhythmical ugency of this early eighties track, by Stevie Nicks, her of the floating curtains and tablecloth, and well heeled boot. I just wondered what it would sound like with a male voice, namely mine.

I took some criticism for attempting this one, but there you are, one has to take the odd Nijinsky now and again, actually this could be a theme song for me, "Stand back Rod's going to buy a drink".

AWESOME!!! Thanks!

Why Rod Why?!?

I literally laughed out loud when I listened to this...

I just have a strange vision of Rod spinning in his lace and chiffon...

And dancing on the infamous treadmill...


Actually it is like creep city...

I agree, but it is not THAAAT bad... I got up and danced, but I am also off my rocker.

not bad,

could have done without the 1:11 intro....

funny, that there is nothing for, (or, I could not find), this on "U-Toob"......

I just love Rod's way of describing Stevie...

Haha, I hadn't heard this before.

It's kinda fantastic in its oddness. The intro is bizarre - sounds like it belongs to a really dramatic movie scene somewhere.

And that is definitely a great description of Mama - floating curtains and tablecloth. Our Lady of the Treadmill & Wind Machine.

It is from Rod's 1993 album "Lead Vocalist" where he does some covers of other people's songs (hence the much-hated version of Ruby Tuesday). I don't think it was ever released in the USA.
