Faces, 1969-75 is the first-ever book by one of rock music’s most-loved supergroups. With an original text written by Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, and the late Ian McLagan, their official history presents over 200 photographs that chart the band’s brief but thrilling trajectory, from their formation in 1969 to their eventual split in 1975. Each copy is signed by the authors, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood.

Presenting a stunning mix of iconic and previously unpublished photographs, Faces, 1969-75 features over 200 images sourced from many of the world’s greatest rock photographers, as well as the band’s own private archives.

The resulting collection captures the chaotic intensity of the Faces’ career: the incendiary liveshows, the on-stage laughs and off-stage high-lives, the private jets,groupies, drink, drugs, clothes, haircuts and Holiday Inns.
‘We looked good and we were having a good time,and the kids liked it. It was obvious that we werehaving fun.’ – Ian McLagan

‘It was all parties and rock’n’roll, everything you could think of a rock star should be doing and we did it to the fullest and beyond…’ – Kenney Jones

‘We were the sponsors of Holiday Inn and Marriott, and anywhere we could get banned from. We used to call them the Holiday Out. We used to check in as Fleetwood Mac; no hotel chain would have the Faces because of the damage and madness that went on… Half the audience would come back with us to the hotel. We would party with whoever was there and they’d all end up staying with us. The pilots would be thrown in the pool.’ – Ronnie Wood
In the book’s back pages, items of Faces tour memorabilia are also reproduced: setlists, call sheets, concert tickets, programs, posters, and backstage passes.
