Issued on 11 September 1970, this Vertigo 7" single captures Rod Stewart during the early rise of his solo career. Following the momentum of An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down, Stewart delivered a fiery, soulful cover of the R&B classic It’s All Over Now. Backed by members of The Faces, the single highlights his raspy voice and loose, live‑in‑studio energy. Stewart reshaped the song with a passionate, world‑weary performance that blended rock, soul, and pub‑rock swagger.
