I have this, and yes, it's very good. Each disc is a stand-alone, great sequencing. One for the Faces fans out there.I'm not a big box set guy, but of all I own, I like this 4 CD compilation the best. But I love Rod and the Faces...
From Amazon...
"From 1969 to 1975 the Faces - Rod Stewart, Ian McLagan, Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, and Kenney Jones - played their loose and joyful blues and soul-inflected rock 'n' roll with reckless abandon, consummate skill, and immeasurable charm. For those few years they were arguably the greatest band on the planet, and their influence has resonated ever since through the music of countless acts, from the Sex Pistols to The Replacements to The Black Crowes, and on and on. After the Faces dissolved in 1975, Stewart went on to solo superstardom, Wood to the Stones, Jones to The Who, McLagan to world - class session work and his own recordings, and Lane to acclaimed solo projects before he succumbed to multiple sclerosis in 1997. Greater than the sum of its parts, the Faces made now - immortal music for which there will never, ever be a last call."
"It's a very good selection of music that wears remarkably well"

Heard one of the disk jockeys on Sirius XM make the claim the faces are the best band to ever exist. Must know en well....

Most likely you bought some Euro grey market stuff. Their copyright laws are a little, um, loose. I think they made have made some changes(don't quote me), but a lot of stuff became public domain after 50 years.If you guys are all into vinyl, perhaps this doesn't belong here... Have you seen all those sets of CDs that contain between 6 and 14 albums of a particular artist? I've bought several of them, and have been pleased with them, but, these sets are often only 9-15 dollars. How can the set manufacturer, afford to sell these for such low prices, let alone getting the rights to sell them all together?
Anyway, I'm looking at a Bill Evans 12 album set for 15 dollars, right now
