FACES/SNAKES AND LADDERS -THE BEST OF FACES K 56172 (-76) UK


  To my taste a top compilation offering some of the best from their carreer.  Guess regular album cuts would have been enough to satisfy any devoted fan, but here you also get two single A-sides for the first time on LP - "Pool Hall Richard" and "You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything" - plus the very different 45 mix of "Had Me A Real Good Time" to sweeten the deal. Only got one problem with it. Don't understand why they included the instrumental "Pinapple And The Monkey" from the debute album when there were so many other more felicitous rock'n'rollers to choose from.  "That's All You Need" or "My Fault" for example. In my world PATM is as misplaced here as "Flying" would be on a Beatles Greatest Hits. Luckily the rest fits just fine and the audio pleasing so I can turn up the volume and feel part of the music. I know LP compilations are seen as obsolete by many today, but for an old vinyl lover like myself this is needed as an essential piece of the Faces puzzle. Issued and reissued on LP and/or CD all over the world through the years, also cassette and 8-track. Premiere US on Warner Bros. (BS 2869). Can't seem to locate any CD with bonus tracks.  First UK had label as shown here in a thin matt cover.  (SXÅH*)
