The Faces were about as fallabout as you could get without actually falling over. Sustained on Pimms, hairspray and other heinous substances, they held the afterhow party during the show and made albums that barely stretched over 30 minutes. But still I remember them fondly, in the days when Rod Strewart was an amiable rake and Ronnie Wood could play behind the beat with squiffy aplomb.

A new compilation on the Rhino label captures most of the studio fun from 'Nod's As Good As A Wink', 'Ooh La La' and some other stuff. Ronnie Lane is represented by 'Debris'. 'Glad And Sorry' and some other tunes while I had forgotten how funky and joyous they were on 'You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything'.
