Faces - Three Button Hand Me Down (1970)
"The Faces first LP is pretty underwhelming with the exception of a few tunes; this being my fave off the album.” by Stewart & McLagan
I don’t need no one’s opinion
On the matter concerning my dress
as if to prove a point (how good they are!) Guess I’m Dumb does it again and features a little gem from The Faces first album in Three Button Hand Me Down. It features the writer and bass player Ronnie ‘Plonk’ Lane the brains, along with Stevie Marriott, behind the SMALL Faces who went on to feature so well with his later work alongside Pete Townshend and the guys Gallagher & Lyle out in the countryside in Slim Chance. It was all Kushty Rye until his premature death in Trinidad, Colorado from MS at a mere 51. We miss him!
One of the greatest albums.
ReplyDeleteWell said Brother Jobe! You will note what the poster at Guess I’m Dumb says about it being underwhelming as a debut goes!?
ReplyDeleteI disagree and bought everything around the time at least until Plonk left.
I am not sure everyone immediately got how ‘loose’ The Faces were gonna be with Ronnie’s (Wood and Lane) MacLagen and Stewart being remarkably scallywag drunk most of the time but it worked (then!)
I hitchhiked all the way to Leicester Poly (before going to art school there some years later) and Stewart introduced the band as ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, Matteus Rosé Ltd!” [the in drink of wine at the time]!
SUCH FUN!
They ROCKED in the true meaning of the word!
