‘HAD ME A REAL GOOD TIME: FACES BEFORE DURING AND AFTER’ by Andy Neill, published by Omnibus Press was recently praised on air by Rod Stewart during an interview with Ronnie Wood.
At last The Faces get the in-depth biography they richly deserve. Published recently in hardback at £19.95 by Omnibus Press, The Faces colourful story has never before been properly told, but thanks to extensive research by author Andy Neill and the numerous interviews Andy conducted for Had Me A Real Good Time, the biography fully examines the roots, triumphs and tragedies behind this beloved British band.
Containing four picture sections, many of the photos previously unseen, this Faces biography is the definitive account of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most engagingly shambolic acts, as well as an evocative portrait of the times in which they raised hell partying and recorded some timeless tracks.
