FACES/ OOH LA LA K 56011 (-73) UK

The last studio album with the old gang. Eventually Rod Stewart would go to continue his solo carreer in US and Ron Wood end up with The Rolling Stones. Kenney Jones later became a member of The Who and Ian McLagan and Ronnie Lane went on for solo albums and further collaborations. As the story goes at this time Stewart was already parting from the group and didn't attend a lot, so the album mainly came out of a collaboration between Ronnie Lane and producer Glyn Johns. Luckily the split doesn't show on the ready product - it's another good Faces album. The same loose post-garage atmosphere as before, all liquored up and ready for a night out. Title track is among their best and "My Fault" one of those simple one-chord rockers that goes perfectly with your fifth pint of beer. First press cover design, with moving eyes and lips, was apparently too complicated for UK manufacturers initially, so it was leased out to Album Graphics Inc. in US. First British issue had US cover with UK rec. number, labels as shown here and large lyric/picture poster. (SXÅH*)
