Sing It Again Rod is the first compilation album by Rod Stewart released in 1972. The album is notable for its Peter Corriston-designed die-cut album sleeve (shaped like an old fashioned glass, and through which a smiling Stewart can be seen).[http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/S/stewart_sing.html story behind the cover photographs by Azzara, from tralfaz-archives website]
