Faces: Early steps (Ltd) [Digipack / 2 CD]

Little Feat is the quintessential "cult" rock band. Started by Lowell George in earnest in 1969, by 1975 they had already released five projects. Their 5th studio album, The Last Record Album, gives a subtle nod & wink to the critically acclaimed 1971 box office hit The Last Picture Show in its title and cover artwork -another wonderfully trippy collaboration with the artist Neon Park. <br/>By far the band's shortest release, with only eight total tracks, The Last Record Album still boasts several essential Feat compositions like "One Love Stand" (covered by Carly Simon) and "Long Distance Love" (covered by Elvis Costello for the Lowell George tribute album Long Distance Love: A Sweet Relief Tribute to Lowell George).<br/><br/>Getting the Rhino Deluxe treatment with this release are a 4CD featuring the original albums remastered and recut from the original tapes, alongside previously unreleased studio outtakes, demos and rarities - with the CD sporting an unreleased live show from the corresponding tour (in this case their 1975 stop at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston). <br/><br/>It's a feast for the auditory senses, with a treasure trove of material for Little Feat's feverish fan base, in the tradition of the deluxe reissues that have come before it from across their 1970's Warner catalog.
