- RECORD STORE DAY (FALL 2023)
It was a bitingly cold early November morning, the 24th to be exact – Record Store Day on Black Friday! With my third cup of coffee in hand (I can quit at any time, but I choose not to!), and a mission to accomplish, I stood outside in line behind 32 (yes, I counted) other vinyl junkies waiting for the store open to get my hands on a copy of the newest Faces product: HAD ME A REAL GOOD TIME AT THE BBC (In Session & In Concert 1971-1973) – a limited edition record album (just 5,000 copies pressed) in… - HOW TO “BEST” BRAND THE FACES WITH THE PROPER BAND FONT/LOGO

A pair of pre-Faces recordings surfaced in 1995
It was late ’77 shortly after the passing of Elvis who was his childhood musical idol, that Dan Perreira first heard Rod’s “distinctive voice”, singing “Tonight’s The Night” on a television comercial for a K-Tel various artists LP. Lucky for him and his curiosity, located at his local library were two books about Rod which would educate him very well on both Rod and the Faces. He was completely intrigued, especially by the Faces years and became an instant fan. From then on he would buy and collect anything he could get his hands on and still continues to do so to this very day.
