Faces was one of the great British bands, comprised of some of the greatest British artists you’ll ever get to hear.  They were all gifted songwriters.  They were all incredibly talented musicians and singers.  They delivered rock and blues music with the very best.  This was their second album, and many critics view this as some of the short-lived band’s best work.  Allmusic rates this as five out of five stars.  It’s a powerful album.  It produced one single, the cover of the McCartney classic “Maybe I’m Amazed”.  But the highlight for me on this album is the Big Bill Broonzy cover that rocks for nine minutes.  All but one of the other tracks are written by the band members, and I think each one is exceptional.  The album was released on Warner Brothers in 1971, number ST-93718.  This is the original release of the album and it is the Capitol Record Club release.  The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches and paper scuffs that do not impact significantly play.  It plays great with just light background noise throughout.  The vinyl grades VG.  The album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear including a two inch split on the open side of the top seam, a two inch split at the bottom of the spine, and a two inch split at the top of the spine.  The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact. Two of the titles on the track list on the back have been circled. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $25.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
