Now this is one short title for an album! At least the name of the band ain`t that short. This is the band that came out of "the Small Faces", still having both Ronnie Wood and Rod "the mole" Stewart on the lineup. This record apart from the fact that its title is offensively long shall be remembered by the fact that upon it is the most popular song the Faces ever had - "Stay with me" - an arena rock song with screaming Rod ordering a woman to spend the night tonight with him and leave him in the morning. The music on those songs usually isn`t particulary innovative, and it could have been performed by anyone from "Cactus" to... 50 other bands. The opening "Judy`s Farm" is quite cool though. This certainly ain`t no milestone in modern rock music, but it`s a rockin` album with a young Rod Stewart who already has his trademark voice, and at least it came way before disco shlock was invented.
