small faces & faces & early solo rod

Picked up a copy of Long Player yesterday - straight to the top of my personal favourite Faces poll - Tell Everyone, Sweet Lady Mary, Richmond, is an unbeatable sequence

April 1, 1972 at the BBC. The entire show!

I love it all! Small Faces above all, but definitely Faces, Rod Stewart solo (1969-1973), Stewart and Wood's work with Jeff Beck, that single Rod did with Python Lee Jackon ('In A Broken Dream')... I enjoy some Humble Pie (although not all), but Rod solo from 1975 onwards is not to my taste.

box set looks good -- if i'm not mistaken, the unreleased stuff is material that's *not* on the 5 Guys set?

I mean, of course I enjoy a lot of Wood's work with The Rolling Stones too, but the members of Small Faces/Faces were definitely on fire from 1965-1975.

What does everyone think of Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance stuff?

Yeah, or in some case it looks like alternates of stuff that is. Also some of the material on the singles disc debuted on CD and was exclusive to the 5 Guys box.

Just got a 1st Press A Nod... LP w/the poster...which is huge and quite something

This is the best scan I could find online. It's 3' by 4' and has boobs, butts, pills, thrills and bellyaches.

What does everyone think of Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance stuff? The s/t seemed good, though been a long time since I heard it, same for One For The Road; album with Townshend was cool overall, but more PT songs than Lane's, far as I recall.

I have this Ronnie CD anthology that his estate had been selling online in the mid '00s to launch some sort of back catalog reissue series that didn't quite happen. It's pretty hard to find now, but it's a solid and through collection. His solo stuff (aside from Rough Mix) is really hard to find--looks like everything is OOP these days, and only Anymore For Anymore is on Spotify.

...and Real Gone put out a remastered Mahoney's Last Stand on CD & Vinyl last year.

Marriot's singing on early b-side What's a Matter Baby is superb

Oho, much more Lane on Amazon than I had assumed/ever heard of (even a documentary): https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ronnie+lane&i=popular&crid=2D4IVBXEPT419&sprefix=Ronnie+La%2Cpopular%2C168&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9

I know there was a Sanctuary 2cd set about 10 years ago. Haven't played it much.

Satin Faces!
