Faces vinyl box set review.

The small faces started out all swagger and machismo but over the course of the 15 months documented here they entered a new lsd fuelled universe and it suited them. Mono the original 7 vinyl was issued as a promotional single for the debut immediate album. Not sourced from analog tapes which only means at some point the analog tape was used and it s possible the lacquers were cut from 96 24 files created from the tape. Every vinyl reissue should include an explicit source description like this one.

Here we re told that the four faces studio album reissues in this box set were cut using the tapes. Fwiw the box set has an additional lp of non lp singles b sides which i doubt will ever get an individual release outside the box set. I d be surprised if there is a repress. I have both the vinyl and cd editions of this box and as other reviewers have suggested there are differences.

You can make me dance sing or anything. Prices have crept back up to the 100 range on these so they may be starting to be in short supply. Featuring excepts from get yourself together green circles talk to you all our yesterdays up the wooden hills to bedfordshire. And yes they are the same kevin gray cuts as found in the box set.

Small faces album sampler one sided promo single excerpts from the small faces l p. The label promise superior audiophile quality and for once this actually means something since the analogue tape direct to lacquers process cuts out the digital domain completely.
