Two tracks, "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "I Feel So Good", were recorded live at the Fillmore East, New York City, on 10 November 1970. On August 28, 2015, the album was reissued in remastered form on vinyl, and remastered and expanded on CD as part of the box set (along with the rest of the Faces catalogue of studio recordings) 1970–1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything. Notes of dates for the live tracks use the US dating system - songs were performed and recorded on 10 November 1970. The song, which clocks in at just under nine minutes, comprises some involvement from the audience before going back to barrel-house blues. I have said elsewhere that I could make a cracking double album out of the best tracks of The Faces.

The album is credited to the Small Faces on all North American issues and reissues, [1] while record labels for initial vinyl printings give the title as The First Step. The band continued to tour throughout 1974 and 1975, releasing a live album, Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners, in 1974 that was jointly credited to Rod Stewart/Faces. Recorded during an era in which many albums were knocked off in a matter of weeks, the group's sophomore set took months to finish — including plenty of downtime that didn't really do any favors for the infamously rowdy quartet.Opening up with some acoustic slide guitar from Wood, it took awhile for 'On the Beach' to show it's true colors, but by the time Lane's whiny voice kicked in it was clear this was a nifty alt-folk number that Lane would begin to pursue in earnest when he went solo. Next is the Lane penned Tell Everyone, the blueprint for the weary, broken, late-night love ballad that Stewart will become known for, the band giving a light yet emotive performance while Stewart’s voice nails the vibe of the song perfectly. The remaining Small Faces— Ian McLagan (keyboards), Ronnie Lane (electric bass, vocals), and Kenney Jones (drums and percussion)—were joined by guitarist Ronnie Wood and singer Rod Stewart, both from the Jeff Beck Group, and the new line-up was renamed Faces. During 2004 and early 2005 the surviving Faces had several near-reunions, none of which featured more than three members at the same time: In May 2004 Kenney Jones and Ronnie Wood joined Ian McLagan on stage at his concert at The Mean Fiddler in London. If the song is titled "Had Me a Real Good Time" is really having a real good time (5:51 that is), unquestionably.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. to a Blind Horse, bolstered by the success of Stewart's solo work, became a worldwide hit, peaking at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and number 6 on the U.A number of partial reunions of the Faces were rumored throughout the 2000s, with various one-off performances involving surviving members occurring. On 25 May 2010, it was announced that the Faces had officially reformed with Hucknall taking on vocal duties, and Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols on bass. Meanwhile, "Woody was the guy's guy, with a cigarette stuck in his mouth or between the fingers of his right fist, eyes blinking continually with concentration as he worried the guitar, and sang and camped it up with Rod.

Jones joined the Who after the death of Keith Moon; [13] McLagan stated in a 2004 interview that Townshend also asked him to join the Who, but he had already promised Keith Richards that he would tour as a Rolling Stones sideman.This track and its non-LP instrumental B-side "Oh Lord, I'm Browned Off" were rarities among Faces collectors until they were both compiled on the Five Guys Walk into a Bar. On 11 June 2008, Rod Stewart announced that the surviving Faces were discussing a possible reunion, envisioning making a recording and/or performing at least one or two concerts. Later that summer Wood and Stewart parted ways with Beck and joined Lane, McLagan and Jones full-time. The album was released only a few months after the Faces had formed from the ashes of the Small Faces (from which Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan hailed) and The Jeff Beck Group (from which Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood hailed. Propelled by a nifty little guitar from Wood and a catchy chorus, 'Bad In Ruin' was one of their better, if overlooked rockers.
