"...this four-disc Dumpster of album tracks, rehearsals, and live takes circa 1969 to 1975 may be a truer picture than any single album." -- SPIN

"...a first-rate round-up." (5 stars + Reissue of the Year) -- Mojo

Ooh La La, it's the first-ever Faces boxed set! Produced by Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, this four-disc set features 67 essential selections, including 31 previously unreleased tracks. Rarities include a live BBC performance of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed," an outtake romp through John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," and a BBC rendition of Rod's "Maggie May." Includes a massive booklet jammed with rare photos, testimonials (Rich Robinson, Jeff Tweedy, Paul Westerberg), and an essay by Rolling Stone editor David Fricke.  

From 1969 to 1975 the Faces -- Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenny Jones -- played their loose, swaggering blues and soul-steeped rock 'n' roll with reckless abandon, consummate skill, and immeasurable charm. For those few years they were arguably the greatest band on the planet, and their influence has since found its way into countless acts, from the Sex Pistols to The Replacements to The Black Crowes.
