REVIEW: |
This release
presents recordings from the Faces 1970 Vancouver gig, from the Strawberry
Mountain Pop Festival; among the other acts there were Albert Collins, Big
Brother and Country Joe & The Fish. This recording is in soundboard quality,
it already came out on cd on Strawberry Pop (Hiwatt HW 7071) coupled with Santa
Monica 71 audience recording.
Packaging
is superb, the coloured vinyl platter is housed in a nice glossy cover and
there is an insert that features an essay written on Music Now from August
15th, 1970 where the writer states
a conversation had one subby lunchtime with guitar player Ron Wood that
mentioned the band was writing material for their second album and already
planning another visit to the States in November; surprisingly Ron Wood turned
down Bill Graham calling him ‘not the fairest businessman they ever met’
stating he was one of the people the band could do without in the States. Then
Kenny Jones joins explaining the band’s progress in recording techniques. The
music itself is excellent, being a soundboard, but Three Buttons Hand Me Down and
Devotion both fade out.
