The Faces - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, BBC, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 2-17-1972

Here's the next in the series of albums of the Faces playing for the BBC. There's just one more to go after this. Personally, I think this is one of the best in the series, both in terms of sound quality and performance. Plus, by this time, the band had more songs to choose from, and they still had Ronnie Lane. 

There's not much to say with this one that I didn't say earlier in the series. All the songs come from one concert performance recorded by the BBC in front of an audience. There were no tricky problems requiring any fixes anywhere. Oh, BBC DJ John Peel is back acting as emcee, but he didn't speak much this time compared to earlier in this series.

This concert is an hour and one minute long.

As with most of the albums in this series, I had trouble finding good photos of the band from the right year. So for this album, I used a concert poster of the band from that year instead.

  3. Actually, emcee is a real word, and it means the same.
