REVIEW: |
This
release presents various sources; Disc One starts with the John Peel Sunday’s
concert from May 1971, an excellent stereo broadcast that shows all the power
the early Faces displayed during their live performances. The last three tracks
come from Sounds for Saturday from October 71, some tracks from this concert
were released on Five Guys Walk into a Bar boxset in 2004 (Maybe I’m Amazed-I’m
Losing You-Stay With Me) but none are here. On Disc Two there is the December
1970 Marquee live concert that was filmed and broadcasted by a German tv WDR in
early 1971, followed by 2 songs from Top of the Pops, the first Richmond is
live, Bad ‘n’ Ruin has instead live vocals on a prepared backing track. This
disc ends with 3 songs from the Steampacket a group where Rod Stewart, Long
John Baldry and Julie Driscoll shared vocals with Brian Auger on organ and Vic
Briggs on guitar from a November 1965 BBC broadcast. The last three members later
recorded the highly successful This Wheel’s On Fire with their new band Trinity
after Steampacket dismantled. In fact Steampacket could be called the first
British supergroup that was managed by Giorgio Gomelski. This is a nice release
that presents excellent sounding broadcasts, although the Steampacket tracks
will just appeal to Rod Stewart fans.
