Faces – Long Player - 1971
Warner Bros 7599-26191-2
Remastered
With their second effort, Long Player, the Faces grew more muscular and loose, rocking with loose abandon on "Bad 'n' Ruin" and "Had Me a Real Good Time," two of their best songs. At the same time, their ballads also improved, with Rod Stewart's "Tell Everyone" and Ronnie Lane's "Richmond" rivaling each other for the most touching number on the album. Out of the two live tracks, "I Feel So Good" goes on a little too long, but "Maybe I'm Amazed" is tremendous — the Faces tear into the song, transforming it from a Paul McCartney ballad to a heartfelt cry of devotion. Long Player is a sloppy, terrific record; although it may have a couple of weak moments, it has the heart and soul of the band.
