Atlantic Crossing

Atlantic Crossing is the sixth studio album by the English singer-songwriter Rod Stewart, released on 15 August 1975. It peaked at number one in the UK, and number nine on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. The title indicated Stewart's new commercial and artistic direction, referring to both his crossing over to Warner Brothers and on his departure to escape the 83 per cent top rate of income tax introduced by British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson for the jet-set lifestyle in Los Angeles. The album was divided into a slow side and a fast side, apparently at the suggestion of Stewart's then-girlfriend, Swedish actress Britt Ekland. Stewart would repeat the format for his next two albums. The album contained two of Stewart's most popular songs, "Sailing" and "I Don't Want to Talk About It", and classic rock favorites "Three Time Loser" and "Stone Cold Sober".
