Faces - Five Guys Walk Into a Bar (4CD Box Set)

"Yes, Sit On My Faces!!!!" This four disc retrospective is a must have for any Faces, Rod Stewart or Ronnie Wood fan (etc., etc.). We're treated to all the best songs as well as previously unissued tracks including studio rehearsals and superbly recorded BBC live tracks. All digitally remastered by the "masters" at Rhino. These songs have never sounded better! This set does not follow the standard chronological order of many box sets and does not fall prey to the expanded greatest hits package either. The tracklist was put together by Ian McLagan himself. Although the song order may seem a bit disjointed at first; it really keeps the listener interested and the music flowing quite well. No need to go into details about the band itself, because chances are if you're reading this you are already a Faces fan. A fan who wishes there was more Faces music out there for consumption. A fan who wishes Rod Stewart would "rock" again. A fan who hopes Ronnie Wood would quit posing and crank out the guitar again. Well this set answers at least one of those wishes in a big way. Don't let the price scare you off, you can not take the $$$$$$$ with you anyway. So you need to pick this one up ASAP and don't look back. you will not regret it! One last thing...for a Faces "newcomer", you're best bet is to purchase the single disc album, "The Best Of Faces: Good Boys When They're Asleep". If after a few listens of that disc, you want more, then opt for this box. Some of the studio jams and very raw rehearsal tracks (borderline bootleg quality) on this four disc set might be a little much for the casual Faces listener. All in all the best box sets I've ever purchased!
