Now Available: Faces, You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything
Faces - Kenney Jones, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Wood - are a bit like a certain Reckless Sleepers song: they came quick and they didn't stay long. As such, the fact that they delivered four classic albums in four years (1970-1973) cemented their reputation in such a fashion that they still remain on critics' short list of the greatest British rock 'n' roll bands of all time. At the same time, though, they're also a band which - despite their back catalog being relatively small - some younger fans have never taken the time to explore, since the subsequent years have often found their efforts overshadowed by the individual accomplishments of their members.
This situation can be easily remedied with You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything, a new collection which features newly remastered versions of the four Faces studio albums along with a bonus disc which includes nine tracks that don't appear on any of the other albums. Plus, not only is it going to be available on CD, it'll also be available on vinyl as well, and it'll be a limited-edition, you'll want to hop on that immediately, since each album was cut from the original analog master tapes directly to lacquers and pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, and the records will come packaged in sleeves that accurately recreate the original release. (To answer your as-yet-unasked question, yes, the eyes and mouth of the gentleman on the cover of Ooh La La do move.)
