{"product_id":"faces-long-player-2lp","title":"Faces - Long Player","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong Player is Faces at their most gloriously ramshackle, the sound of five friends who could turn a recording session into a party, presented here as a limited edition pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1971, the band's second album caught Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones hitting their stride. They produced it themselves, cutting tracks at Morgan Sound Studios in London and with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, and the result feels loose in the best possible way, all elbows, grins and barroom swagger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Had Me a Real Good Time\" could serve as the band's mission statement, while \"Bad 'N' Ruin\" opens the record with a stomping, piano-driven strut. Lane's \"Tell Everyone\" offers a gentler, soulful counterweight, and a live take of Paul McCartney's \"Maybe I'm Amazed\", captured at the Fillmore East, turns a solo ballad into a full-throated band singalong. A Big Bill Broonzy blues, also recorded live, stretches out with plenty of room to jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew groups balanced boozy fun and real musicianship this well, and McLagan's keys and Lane's songwriting deserve as much credit as Stewart's rasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor classic rock collectors, this is essential Faces, the record that captures the band before the hits took over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307745386801,"sku":"603497810659","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Faces_-_Long_Player.jpg?v=1793878662","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/faces-long-player-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
