Great news from Mac!
The long-awaited Faces 4CD box set is not only back on track,
it's rolling and rumbling down the line and due to arrive by
November 1st! This was the exact date Faces signed with
Warner Bros records back in 1969, some 33 years ago. My
very best old longtime pal and buddy, Stuart Batsford at
Warner Music International in London, confirmed yesterday
that it's happening in a large way, and that it will include an 80
page booklet with never before seen photographs, and never, ever
before heard stories, and every recorded track, all 'A' & 'B' sides and studio,
radio and 'live' performances, plus some very special, never previously heard tracks
and rarities, the like of which will probably cause children to be born spontaneously with spiky
haircuts, a liking for good music, long haired girls, short drinks and flared pants.... everywhere in the world....
Beginning on November 1st!
Would I lie to you?
More news as it comes in...

I can't tell you how excited I am, I mean really. I first dug the Faces last summer, when I bought that "best of" that's out. Hooked after the first listen. "Ooh La La" is one of the greatest friggin' songs of all time.

Errmm, no no no. The Faces are just a bastardized version of the Small Faces. Minus Steve Marriot and add Ronnie and Rod. Now come on, who was the better singer? I say "who was" because Marriot died in a fire and Rod cant sing anymore. Glastonbury prooved that!!
Steve Marriot was miles ahead of Rod Stewart, which is proboally why he made it big before old Gravel Pipes. Rod "The Mod" Stewart (as he was known in the 60s) had been hanging around recording studios since 1963. First scoring as job playing Harmonica with Long John Baldery, then he released a handleful of dire and i mean DIRE singles. In my opinion, hed still be playing Brittish boozers if it wasnt for Jeff Beck giving him a shot, we most likely wouldnt know who he was. So ive think i have made my point,
Anyone read that article in the Daily Mail about Rod not been up to scratch in the bedroom? Ha Ha!!
Hes not Mick Jagger is he?

Alex, I have to disagree. The Faces were better than the Small Faces. The Small Faces wanted to be like the Kinks but failed at it, while the Faces wanted to be the Stones and didn't really come close but sure as hell didn't fail. Until the crap came along in the late 70s, Rod was a gifted singer (have you ever heard his first few solo albums, he covered and wrote some great material and performed it with such raw talent). Yet, to give credit where credit is due, yes Jeff Beck got Rod "The Mod" going but if not for the inspired atmosphere from "real" musicians and co-writers like dear Ronnie, Martin Quinentton (?), Mick Waller and a lot of Faces help Rod would not have had a great solo start. those guys made him and without them he was lost and turned to sappy cover versions like "The First Cut is the Deepest" then his own slew of junk. Ronnie is the more briliant half of the Rod Stewart machine of the early 70s!
"Holy sh!t hit me ronnie! And also smack that bitch Rod the Mod upside his spikey blond head!" |

No Evan, i do not agree.
The Small Faces were nothing like The Kinks. Theyre music may sound a little similar, but they both had quite a heavy sound aroung 65-66. The Kinks were better then the Small Faces. The Small Faces writing team of Marriot/Lane wrote some great songs and you cant deniy that. Also they were genuine Mods. Unlike groups like the Who, they were just dressed up like that. I think the Small Faces were great and they are rememberd more over here then the Faces.

Yeah, Small Faces were great though. I see your point, it's just I prefer the Faces to the Small Faces. If you love Ronnie Lane, Alex, get Rough Mix with Pete Townshend. Both guys at their best. As for the Jeff Beck Group, Truth is a good album but its ragged, lazy blues with the acid-blues styled guitar work is a bit nauseating after a while. It's still good. I like Jeff's solo work, like "Blow by Blow" better because it's more innovative and exciting to my ear. Not to say the group was bad, I dig the Jeff Beck Group with Ronnie, Rod and Mick Waller. |
