The Faces - A Fifth Of The Faces (1975)

I've always thought that 'Pool Hall Richard' and 'You Can Make Me Dance...' were two of the best things that The Faces ever did, and if they had managed to complete an album while they were producing songs of that quality then it would have been their best ever. For a number of reasons - Ronnie Lane leaving, Stewart's solo career taking off, etc - the band broke up and so the album was not to be. Here we have all the tracks that they recorded before the split, as well as those two singles, and a couple of solo tracks from Stewart, Wood and Lane where the rest of the Faces helped them out. As this would have been their fifth album, and they were notoriously fond of a tipple, I've called it 'A Fifth Of The Faces'
