very nice review. I've been telling people Rod was amazing since Warner Archives started putting out those Faces records 10 years ago. It's been like telling people that drinking Drano is a good idea.

I have that box too, and I agree with you — it's outstanding.

So you figure I should have downloaded more than the first two discs? I gotta tell ya, I thought that what I did hear was utterly unessential and completely useless studio detritus - scratch vocals of meaningless lyrical nonsense, alternate versions that barely deviate from the master take, etc. It struck me as a total money grab on the part of Warners, who ought to be ashamed of themselves were they to have any shame left.

Never was a greater talent squandered than that of Rod the Mod and I don't need a boxed set of B material to underscore the point.

Plus, if you want an interesting and completely worthwhile boxed set that includes Stewart's actual talent look no further than the "Five Guys Walk Into A Bar," collection which proves definitively that the Faces were the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the history of the world.

It's funny because it's true.
