Gerry Rafferty & Stealers Wheel "Collected" Vinyl, 2-LP Set, Compilation (2019 Music on Vinyl pressing)
Collected brings together the intertwined stories of Gerry Rafferty and Stealers Wheel, presenting the songs that made Rafferty one of the most distinctive British singer-songwriters of the 1970s and 1980s. Originally issued as a 3-CD compilation in 2011 by Universal Music, the set gathers Stealers Wheel material alongside Rafferty’s solo work and earlier Humblebums recordings, giving listeners a broad view of his melodic songwriting, dry lyrical wit, and polished pop-rock arrangements.
The album traces Rafferty’s development from folk-rooted beginnings to Stealers Wheel’s radio-friendly folk rock and then into the sophisticated solo sound that defined records such as City to City and Night Owl. Its sequencing highlights both commercial peaks and deeper cuts, moving from the sly bounce of “Stuck in the Middle With You” to the sweeping saxophone-led atmosphere of “Baker Street,” the smooth warmth of “Right Down the Line,” and reflective later tracks like “Shipyard Town” and “A New Beginning.”
