'What made them truly world class was their range and uncanny ability to fuse British rock, Motown soul and American folk like no band before them' Brad Tolinski, from his introduction
'With Ronnie and Rod our music was not as tight; it became a bit more elasticated, there was more freedom. A lot of our stuff had the feeling of a jam, because we used to jam a lot when we first got together and, like many bands, that's where we'd find riffs.' Kenney Jones
The Faces blended some of the most talented musicians of the era to create a swaggering, funk-filled, blues-rock that was sublime on record and incomparable live.
'As a kid coming up listening to rock 'n' roll, no band better exemplified 'Party Band' like the Faces, and no band has since.' Slash, from his forewordTo celebrate the Faces' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the band present their edition in a commemorative solander box.
