I have "A nod is as good as a wink...to a blind horse" and that is a mint album. Too Bad and Miss Judy's Farm rock it!
Amazing, really amazing playing by Woody on this album.
I dont own anything else so this thread could be useful to me also! |

The worst thing about the Faces was Rod Stewart. They should have gone with Ronnie Lane on lead vocals throughout. That said, you can't go wrong with any of their four albums. I'll rank them, with their order of appearance in parens. I don't have the box yet but I hear good things.
1. Nod is good as a wink . . (3)
2. Ooh La La (4)
3. The First Step (1)
4. Long Player (2)
5. Snakes and Ladders (best of) has two non-album tracks and is a good overview. |

The Faces stuff I have heard, I like, but the Small Faces were so much better.
Jumacfly, forget about The Faces for a bit and get the Small Faces best off. You won't regret it.

The Small Faces were
Steve Marriot (Vocals, guitar)
Ronnie Lane (Bass)
Ian McLagen (Keyboards)
Kenny Jones (Drums)
So in terms of line up, the only difference is that the Faces gained a new lead singer and a guitarist. Steve Marriott went on to form a band called Humble Pie, which also featured Peter Frampton.
You really should check out the Small Faces. They mean very little outside Britain, which is a crying shame. Unlike bands like The Who, they were genuine mods. A lot of the other so-called Mod bands just wore the right clothes but were not part of the movement.
Steve Marriott had a great voice. Much better than Rod Stewarts. He died in a house fire.

Thanks, Alex.
Btw, do the Libertines have a new cd in the works? Will they tour US again? |

Hey FG!
The new Libertines album is out at the end of this month and they have a single in the UK Chart at no 2.
The sad news is that Pete Doherty can't shake off his crack and heroin addiction. He has been booted out of the band and told he can't return until he is clean. He has been to the Priory and even went as far as Thailand for rehab. The band are currently playing live without him, but they can't go on like that and they certainly could never do an album without him. In my opinion, he IS the Libertines.
He is due in court soon. He's facing charges of been in possession of a flick knife.
Anyway, I think the new album is released on 30th August. Just buy it and enjoy it.

Fuckin love In the interview with Barat when he says:
"taking crack was like inhaling a burning bin bag then having a 15-minute panic attack". |

Thanks, guys. What is the title???
Poor Pete, sounds like he's pulling a Layne Staley with smack and crack. I would hate for another talented young singer to bite the dust. |

rod and ronnie were also members of the small faces the album "first step" is the only one with them, then they decided to become just "faces"

First Step is a Faces album. On the cd, it has Faces, NOT Small Faces. I understand your confusion though. I think maybe it had Small Faces on the original release, but it wasn't the Small Faces. |

first step is an offical "small faces" album it was not a mistake but then they changed the name
the cd has also "small faces" on the cover not just the lp

With all due respect, HTM, I disagree - the Faces were much better than their SF predecessors. having said that, I agree that the new boxset is "all you need" (play on a Faces tune). It has all the essentials from the legit albums plus over 30 rarities/unreleased trax, including a cool, long cover of Love in Vain. Any true Stones fan MUST have this release.....

But Humble Pie was by far the best of the three mentioned in this thread |

Can't say I know that much about HP's music - got a recommendation on where to start - their Fillmore live album, perhaps? |

That's one of the best albums to start, The pie was one of the best live acts
Rock On is probably their best studio album also Town and Country but this is their most underrated album, The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake is one my favorites

The new box set is totally phenomenal. One of the best rock and roll collections ever officially released. Great great great. The only kvetch I have with it is that Three Button Hand Me Downs isn't live and Three Button Hand Me Downs live is super genius.
The best live Faces performances I've ever heard are the BBC things, collected on a fabulous CD called That's All You Need, -- BBC 1971-1972. Lots of killer performances, many not on the box.
