The Faces - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: Sounds for Saturday, BBC, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 10-26-1971

I recently posted Volume 3 in this series of albums of the Faces performing for the BBC. In my comments for that, I said the sound quality was good, but not great, and unless you're a really big Faces fan, you might want to wait for this one, recorded later the same year.

Well, that's all true. However, upon closer inspection, I realized the set list of this performance compared to the one in Volume 3 is fairly different, even though the band hadn't released any new music in the meantime. In fact, only two songs were played for both: "Love in Vain" and "(I Know) I'm Losing You." So I don't recommend this as a substitute for Volume 3.

It is true, though, that the sound quality is somewhat better on this one. Four of the seven songs were included in the band's box set, "Five Guys Walk into a Bar..." So that helped a lot. The other three songs and all of the banter between songs remain unreleased.

This album is 43 minutes long.

I've continued to have a hard time coming up with good color photos of the Faces. In this case, I was able to find a photo that is actually from 1971, taken from the Weeley Festival. I'm not keen on the photo because three band members are looking to the side, but it was the best one I could find. If you know of a better one from 1971, please let me know.

    1. The link looks good to me, but maybe it got corrupted somehow. I just put in a new one. See if that works.

  3. There a video of this show as well.
    I think it still can be found on youtube.
    It was a VH1 concert special back in the day.
    I think it was part of the "crown jewels" series.
