  1. "Itchycoo Park" is a song by the English rock band Small Faces, written by #SteveMarriott and #RonnieLane. Largely written by Lane, it was among a number of pop songs of the era to make use of #flanging, an effect involving, at that time, electro-mechanical processes. The song was not included on any of their UK albums, but was however featured on the North American release #ThereAreButFourSmallFaces (1968). Released on 4 August 1967 by #ImmediateRecords.

  2. Meant to post this earlier. Not sure if the 12pm rule applies for merely mentioning it, if so I guess that makes me the fool. Anyway, it’s a great song. #RonnieLane #RoughMix #AprilFools

  9. "Ooh La La" is a 1973 song by the English #rock band #Faces, written by #RonnieLane and #RonnieWood. It is the title song of the band's last studio album, #OohLaLa. The lead vocals were provided by Wood, a rarity in the band's catalogue; lead vocals were usually performed by #RodStewart and less often by Ronnie Lane. Stewart and Lane each recorded lead vocals for the song, but reportedly neither was satisfied by their attempt.

  10. PETE TOWNSHEND & RONNIE LANE
    Rough Mix
    1983 Canada reissue

    Hurdling towards the end of the week with this underrated gem.

    I’ve always had a great deal of love and affection for this record. Probably more love than I do The Who’s Face Dances or It’s Hard.
    I’ve gotten far more enjoyment from this than I ever did The Who’s last gasp.

    There’s so many good songs here.
    Lane’s “Nowhere To Run” is just a killer, and Townshend’s “Heart To Hang Onto” is one of his best songs, period.

    I discovered this album REALLY late; somtime in early 2000, when I was preparing to pick up and move to #nyc . I have listened to it a handful of times every year since then, & it’s one of those “comforting old friend” type records.

    The prompt is Forever

    Billy Nichols, “Forever’s No Time at All” from Pete Townshend’s “Who Came First” 1972

    I recall reading that after dropping acid and getting the feeling that he wasn’t in his body, #PeteTownshend went searching for something more. He became a follower of the teachings of Indian guru Meher Baba, sprinkling references in #TheWho's output and, with fellow-devotee chums, recording a couple of albums in his honor.

    For Who Came First, regarded as his first solo release (get the cover pic pun?🥚), he took some tracks from those albums, tweaked some of his Lifehouse demos, and recorded some additional tracks. It’s all Pete except for a #RonnieLane track with Pete on guitar, and the Billy Nichols track where Pete doesn’t appear at all.

    I love this album despite its demo-y feel (or maybe "because of,” in a pre-Scoop world?) because it's Pete; ironically I’m featuring its one Pete-free track, but it's a good one.

    The word is New

    #PeteTownshend and #RonnieLane, “Heart to Hang Onto,” from Rough Mix,1977

    Lyric:
    “Give me a heart to hang onto
    Give me a soul that's tailored new
    Give me a heart to hang onto
    A heart to hang onto”

    While this album is a joint project by Pete and Ronnie (Faces, #SmallFaces), #Townshend fans regard it as Pete's solo album, with interruptions. Here we find Pete storytelling, not with the bombastic stylings of #RockOpera or stiff #RadioPlay but on a human scale in a series of verse-sized vignettes.

    While no one would compare Ronnie Lane’s homespun vocals with #RogerDaltry’s #RockGod delivery, Pete uses the interplay of his vocals with Lane’s similarly to the way he trades off vocals in #TheWho, Townshend’s thin, high voice speaking in the vulnerable first person.

    After glimpses of these lonely lives, the poignant melody gives way to a crescendo of desperation, drifting away unresolved in a twinkling of keys.

    Top Of The Pops 29 April 1971

    Many of the pre-1975 editions of TOTP were taped over due to the expense of video tape.

    This is one that survived - and the reason for posting it is at 22m00s Rod Stewart and The Faces do 2 live numbers - and they're flippin' magic.

    Pretty sure it's only Rod who's singing live for the 2nd number to a TV track.

    The quality is awesome for 1971 too.
