I'm currently engaged in the long overdue process of trying to replace all my old vinyl singles with CD or mp3 equivalents. Some have been very easy to find, others less so. One of the most tricky ones to locate has been Rod Stewart's 1978 World Cup song 'Ole Ola'. Initially I didn't think it had ever come out on CD, but it turns out to have been released a few years ago on an album called 'The Tartan Army', which comprises - you guessed it - Scottish football songs. Much as I like 'Ole Ola' I can hardly think of a CD I'd like to own less, so I e-mailed the person who runs the Rod Stewart fan site where I found out about it (he's French, hence the very good but slightly off English) and asked if it had ever been released elsewhere, hoping he'd just send me an mp3. This is the reply I got.

I agree with you regarding the Ole Ola song. You may also like the B-side of
this one time single, which is pretty good too. Unfortunately only Ole ola
was officially released on CD.
What you can do is drop a mail on a RS forum somewhere in the net and kindly
ask for a fellow admirer to mail you the MP3 of the songs.
I would have done it myself if I had it, but I do not have the songs with me
on this computer (and I won't get back to where they are before long)!

I hope this help?

Always remember, as good as Rod is, he will never pay back your soul. He is
no God. There is only One Saviour, His Name is Yahweh (our Creator) and His
Son Jesus, is the one who can redeem us.

"For Yahweh so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that
whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal." (John
3:16)

May Yahweh bless you.

Now, I'm glad he added those last lines, because I've been waiting and waiting for Rod to pay back my soul, and it turns out that he's never going to. Apparently my redemption lies not in the songs of the born-in-London, never-lived-north-of-Watford, dyed-in-the-wool Scot, but in Yahweh and his son Jesus (or Yahsus as I like to call him). I'm sure that, like me, you've viewed the Rod Stewart musical 'Tonight's The Night' as a template for spiritual living, but it turns out we were mistaken. There is only one true Rod, and he's not a transcendental figurehead. I suppose I should have realised when he released 'Do Ya Think I'm Secular?'

Sorry.

Yahweh, incidentally, is a name considered so sacred by observant Jews that they never say it aloud - it is referred to as the Unutterable Name. Which makes me wonder whether God is in fact Voldemort. I think that means that Rod Stewart is Harry Potter. I am confused.
