Take early steps back to 1960s London with the Faces! We’re excited to announce a 1xCD and 1xLP release featuring the band’s first, previously unheard recordings, out on October 31st.
Walk by the River Thames to hear the earliest recordings of the Faces captured in all their raucous glory. This release features the band’s first-ever recording session at Olympic Studios, as well as rehearsals from The Rolling Stones’ Bermondsey warehouse, all pulled from the Faces’ own cassette tapes.
Hear Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, Ronnie Lane, and Ian McLagan before they took their first step!

Are any of these not on previous albums?
I’ve got First Step👍 Ta luvvys
Sorry Mike I’ve put me specs on! They’re unheard versions……brilliant
Two cuts, “Evil” and “I Feel So Good,” were previously issued on the FIVE GUYS boxed set. These rough ‘n’ raw cassette tape rehearsal recordings are of interest only to deep, deep Faces fans. You’ll play it once, maybe twice, before you file it away for good.
These tracks really should have been included as a bonus disc with the future remastered FIRST STEP extended edition.
The best thing about this release is the very cool cover!
Looking forward to this, but does any Smiler know the true chances of the rumored Kenney-Ronnie-Rod new material ever being released?
