Who are The Faces
In the early 70s there was always great debate about who really was "The Greatest Live Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World". Most claimed the title for the Rolling Stones, many said Led Zeppelin and some said The Who. Also equal contenders were the Faces. The Faces brand of lurching raunch'n'roll rivaled the Stones on a good night and with alcohol fueled cheeky good time cheeriness probably inspired greater levels of audience participation than Mick and Keef, Page and Plant or Daltry and Townshend ever managed to achieve. The best evidence for their live greatness can be heard on their still officially unreleased BBC sessions.
The name of the group was The Faces. Not Rod Stewart and the Faces. The Faces. It was a band. Rod Stewart was the lead singer. Ronnie Wood played the guitar and had a sound that rivaled, and arguably surpassed, Keith Richard's for rusty bucket raunchiness. Ronnie Lane played a funky, melodic, chunky bass and also sang and wrote a few songs. Ian McLagan provided a snaky classic Hammond organ sound and Kenny Jones played some of the most propulsive drums in British rock.
The band had grown out of the Small Faces. Singer / guitarist Steve Marriott had decided that the Small Faces weren't serious enough for him and he wanted to put some hair on his chest, play boogie rock and hit it big in the USA. So off he went off to form Humble Pie with his mate Peter Frampton. With the lead singer / guitarist having left them in the lurch, the three remaining Small Faces teamed up with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, both of whom had just left the Jeff Beck Group and were looking for a band. Stewart was the last to join as the wary and unconvinced Ronnie Lane, already let down by one lead singer, had an inkling that Stewart, who already had a promising solo career on the go, probably wouldn't stick around for long once fame struck. Which is pretty much what happened.
The BBC sessions
The band never really recorded a classic album and after Rod Stewart's solo success they seemed to be cast further and further into his shadow. There are some great singles but the band are best remembered live. Unfortunately the official live album "Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners", recorded at the end of their career after Ronnie Lane had left, completely fails to do them justice. The evidence for their true live greatness is to be found on many of the strangely still unreleased BBC sessions from the period. The band recorded quite a large number of live sessions from 1969 to 1973 - probably as a result of their being BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel's favourite band - and they are dynamite.

In May of 1971, Rod Stewart released his groundbreaking solo album, Every Picture Tells a Story. It wasn’t his first solo album, but it was his biggest to date, featuring both the hit single “Maggie May” and Stewart’s seminal version of Tim Hardin’s “Reason to Believe.”It was earlier that same month that the first of the songs on Had Me a Real Good Time… was broadcast on air. And this Record Store Day Black Friday release proves that even though Stewart was starting to blossom as a solo superstar at the time, he still made some fiery rock and roll with his old band, Faces.
Admittedly, the pickings here are slim. The first side features “Had Me a Real Good Time” and Faces’ version of Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed,” both which were originally released on the band’s 1971 album Long Player. Also on side one is a version of Robert Johnson’s “Love in Vain” and the barnstorming instrumental “Oh Lord I’m Browned Off,” which features the best of the band’s non-vocal musical talents on drums, bass, and slide guitar.
The second side features four more tracks from BBC in concert performances from 1971 through 1973. The version of “It’s All Over Now,” originally written by Bobby and Shirley Womack and made famous by The Rolling Stones, is relatively perfunctory blues. “Twistin’ The Night Away” (Sam Cooke) is prime live Faces, all boogie and grit. The Temptations’ “(I Know) I’m Losing You” is wonderfully messy. And then there’s “Too Much Woman (For a Henpecked Man)” (Ike Turner) with a little of the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” in the middle.
Had Me a Real Good Time… is great (and great-sounding!) document of Faces’ live BBC performances. The only real complaint is that it’s much too brief. A real good time indeed. If only that time was a bit longer.
