From Collectorsmusicreviews.com
"Too Drunk For The BBC" is a lost Faces session recorded on February 8th, 1973 at the Paris Theater. It is said they sounded too drunk during the performance and this wasn’t aired, but finally did hit the airwaves by mistake in January 2003 on BBC6 digital.

It was released in the summer 2004 on the two disc CDR title In Concert 1973 (Trial-007), paired with the April 1st, 1973 Paris Theater “BBC In Concert” recording. The Vintage Masters Premium is the first silver manufactured edition for this tape. It is a clear and generally excellent sounding mono recording of the complete show that night with a cut in the tape following “It’s All Over Now” losing no music or (as far as we can tell) any talking.

The story about the band being too drunk for broadcast is an interesting one. The actual music performance is fine. The numbers all sound tight and there aren’t many big mistakes. But Rod Stewart’s song introductions ramble into incoherent nonsense half the time and, compared to other bands appearances on “In Concert,” don’t sound very professional.

The Faces did have the reputation for their loose bar-band aesthetic and this document is a perfect representative. What is also important, and something not generally discussed, is the undercurrent of sadness and melancholy that fuels their music. It is this feeling that one comes away with after listening to the broadcast in its entirety.

The tape begins with DJ John Peel saying, “The BBC has asked me to come along this evening and introduce to you five loveable young men whose music is currently taking the country by storm…The Faces.” Since this session occurs right after recording the last Faces LP Ooh La La and two months before it was released to the public, the band opens with the first two songs from the record. After “Silicone Grown” Rod Stewart says, “One. And now we’ll do two.”

“Cindy Incidentally” follows and it sounds much like a rewrite of Dylan’s “I Don’t Believe You.” Their cover of the Jimi Hendrix tune “Angel” had been a staple of their set and is played with a smattering of regret. At the song’s end Stewart says, “all the year round he end it with a do. He then comes here and he ends it with a clue.” (Maybe it’s an inside joke?)

After another cover tune they play “True Blue,” the first song on Rod Stewart’s Never A Dull Moment (given the set lists and line ups on his solo albums at this point, it is hard to see where The Faces end and his solo career begins). Afterwards he says, “‘True Blue’…is the number we just did. So we won’t be doing that one again tonight. In actual fact we’ll do another number that isn’t ‘True Blue’ just to make this into a programme, which is what John asked us to do.”

There is a strange exchange before a loose version of “Twisting The Night Away.” Someone from the audience shouts, “What is next?” Stewart replies, “do you want a job? Grab a guitar then. Come up here. Tell you what, that’s how I started out, standing in the back, shouting at the band, giving them abuse…so, what do we do now?” Ron Wood says, “I lost me list.” By the end of the show there is a very strange exchange before “Maybe I’m Amazed” which is buried down in the mix. “Three Button Hand Me Down” is “horrible” by Stewart’s own admission.

Before the final song “I’m Losing You” he says, “sorry, but the pubs are closing and we want to get there.” They deliver a dramatic, six minute version of one of their most effective cover songs. Kenny Jones’ brief drum solo is also included before the session ends and they hit the pubs. John Peel can be heard at the end of the tape saying, “The Faces. Still the best rock and roll band in the world for those of us who really care” as he thanks the band and the audience for coming.

"Too Drunk For The BBC" is packaged in a standard single jewel case with various live shots of the band on the artwork. Since none of this material appears on the Rhino box set "Five Guys Walk Into A Bar" it is a welcome site to see it released on silver discs. The playing is great and does have a fascinating atmosphere worth having.

JerseyBoy's original notes: 
I went thru ALL of my Faces cds & tapes, a/b'd duplicate tracks to find the best quality and make sure none were offically released on the Box. Some of these come directly from the BBC Transciption Discs> cass> Cd. So you may hear some vinyl clicks & pops. Next I will move on to the soundboards in my collection. My goal in providing these recordings is to locate the best quality out there. If you have a better version of ANY of these tracks please upload and make it clear that they are an upgrade. I would also like to trade for better quality & complete BBC concerts. There's lots of Faces BBC stuff not included here so let's get the ball rolling!

09 It's All Over Now
10 Feel So Good (patched)

Bonus (for those who may prefer the unpatched track)
10 Feel So Good (unpatched)

Pitch of Tracks 01 to 08 were approx. 37 cents sharp.
Track 09 was OK.
Track 10 was OK until approximately 4:00 to the end, during which time it slowed down/went approximately 33 cents flat. It's been corrected here. The final 50 seconds were patched from the alternate "T" source at 6:18.31, after converting the sample rate from 48kHz to 44.1kHz and matching the volume. This last track is still incomplete and cuts off, but it is more complete than the unpatched source for the remaster.

I've also included the unpatched track with my pitch corrections with this edition.

I believe that the source of the set I corrected and the "T" source are ultimately the same - they're both soundboards. In fact, some of the same flaws can be heard in each; e.g. - a dip in volume in both at the same places in "You're My Girl", etc. However, the set I used as the source for this edition doesn't mention "T" at all in its original text, which I've retained and updated here with my documentation and comments. But that alteration already existed and was the version I worked on for this corrected remaster. Tracking was different in each set, however that's not unusual. And "T"'s lineage has several digital copies to DAT, so we may assume that there was another line of copies made from which this source derived when it was posted originally. Despite its more detailed lineage, "T"s torrent is also mostly at an incorrect speed/pitch, even more so than the source of this one was - I found the offset of his to be different than the offset of the source of this one by several cents. Therefore, I believe I haven't gone against "T"s wishes not to remaster his torrents.

12 Twistin' The Night Away 

JEMS' master tape of The Faces has been in the queue for some time now, but with the sad sad news of Ian McLagen's passing today it seemed only right to push it to the top. 

This is one of Stan's earliest recordings using his new Tandberg reel to reel. For those of you unfamiliar with previous releases recorded on this deck, it recorded in full-track mono and required 10(!) D-cel batteries to move those 7-inch reels along at 7.5 IPS. That Stan managed to successfully get the deck in and record dozens of concerts on the Tandberg in the '70s is nothing short of remarkable. 

He also invested in a long microphone cord for his Sony ECM-22P to get it up and way from the audience, typically attaching it to the infrastructure of the arena seating itself in hopes of getting it up and away from close audience noise. 

This show has been circulated and torrented before but this marks the first time the master has been transferred on the original tape deck to extract every bit of its full-track mono glory. As a result, this is presented in true mono, hence the small file sizes. Samples provided. 

Stan seems to recall the show being cut short due to someone in the band taking ill, but the 60+ minutes that are there pretty joyful and McLagen comes through nicely in the mix.
