I got this for Xmas (I had been lusting after it
for quite some time). Let me tell you, if you don't own this and have
been on the fence about it. You seriously need it. To be it is an
absolute Must Have for any Faces fan.
It's 4 discs. The really cool thing is it was put together by Ian McLagan. The songs are not in a chronological order, but in an order that he felt flowed well (and it does). There is an awesome version of Maggie May (which is not one of my most favorite songs). This version has no Mandolin and sounds much more like the Faces. There are a lot of live tracks from the BBC, a few songs from rehersals, etc. Probably my favorite tracks are That's All You Need and Around The Plynth (both on Disc 2).
Truly an amazing box set!!
