Maybe with this song Rod was saying something as a wish, and it came true?Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912525192415808946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552611225113381497.post-27633836655253828642013-02-19T05:48:29.103-08:002013-02-19T05:48:29.103-08:00It's a difficult one: I 'found' the Fa...It's a difficult one: I 'found' the Faces with this single, having not been 'into' music between 1968 and 1972 or thereabouts. It took a fairly long time after this for the band to split. There was a 'best-of' called "Snakes and Ladders" which got sort-of released (it 'escaped' more), which massively downplayed Ronnie Lane in favour of Tetsu, the guy who replaced him on bass. The implication, clearly, that the band was very much a going concern.<br /><br />A couple years later, it was all "Rod Stewart and the lads" together on a double-lp "best of" on Rod's new personal label "Riva", Tetsu relegated to a small photo propped up alongside. Oh, and Ronnie Lane's contributions rightfully recognised once again.<br /><br />So, yeah, even though their output wasn't prolific, at this point Rod wasn't mindful of leaving. Then again, it's one band where the lead singer looks like he's a separate entity. Mark Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979090908216804429noreply@blogger.com
