Listen, one good Faces live album deserves another. Even though this includes four of the exact same performances as were on Had Me A Real Good Time, there’s enough beyond that to make up...

Faces – Had Me A Real Good Time
As I’ve already documented, I’m a huge fan of the Faces, and absolutely the only thing wrong with them is that they made so few records. Official studio albums – there are but four....
Faces — Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners

This is the one that started it all. I’ve written before about my life before I owned any vinyl at all — when in seventh grade I was forced to produce record reports using...
