"Little Miss Understood" was written by Mike d'Abo. "So Much To Say" was written by the unique combination Mike d'Abo/Rod Stewart, while both sides of this single were arranged and produced by Mike d'Abo. The UK release has a really beautiful picture cover of a young Rod Stewart. Also the Dutch and German issue have a nice picture cover of a bearded Rod Stewart.

The song was even
more popular in Canada, where it entered the Top 40 on March 18, 1972. It
stayed in the Top for 4 weeks and went up to number 25.
Early 2007 I found the (very expensive) Japanese single with a picture cover and in a perfect condition.

The Immediate recordings were sold a couple of times and everytime the new label released a couple of compilation albums. If you look at all the great names, than it is unbelievable that the Immediate Record Company went bankrupt. They put out a great number of fine songs and it's good to know, that Mike d'Abo had a part in that. On this album is his song "Little Miss Understood" the only official solorecording by Rod Stewart on this label.

It's nice to see that Mercury named this double CD to the song Mike d'Abo wrote for Rod Stewart, even though there are a couple of big hits on the double CD.

This CD was recorded live at Buckingham Palace by the BBC 3rd Jube 2002 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's being 50 years queen of Great Britain. Probably because The Stereophonics had just a big hit with Mike d'Abo's "Handbags And Gladrags" Rod Stewart decided to sing this song for the queen. It's good to see this track on the CD and Mike's name as writer of the song.
