The Faces Under The Big Top
Andrew Tyler, Disc and Music Echo, 6 May 1972
AFTER A while you get the feeling you're part of the scenario for one of those colossally far-fetched paperbacks with titles like Rock God (make sure your daughters are locked up when Tommy And The Terribles are in town). Two days on the road with the Faces is a very un-average sort of experience.
