ANGEL CAME DOWN FROM
HEAVEN YESTERDAY
SHE STAYED WITH ME
JUST LONG ENOUGH
TO RESCUE ME
Coast to Coast:
Overture and Beginners
is a 1974
live album
credited to
Rod Stewart/The Faces
Stewart's practice
was not giving
concerts as a
solo act at the time,
but rather
appearing jointly with
the Faces,
thus the
dual crediting.
History
The album presents only
three songs
from the
previous albums by
the Faces,
while presenting six
from Stewart's
solo releases.
Two previously
unreleased songs
were a cover of
"I Wish It Would Rain",
originally recorded by
The Temptations,
and
John Lennon's
"Jealous Guy".
The performance was
recorded with
new Faces bassist
Tetsu Yamauchi,
replacing
Ronnie Lane,
who had left soon after
the release of
Ooh La La,
fed up at the group
increasingly being
presented as
Stewart's backing band.
Coast to Coast
was recorded live on
October 17th 1973
at the Anaheim
Convention Center
and was mixed at
Island Studios in London.
In an unusual arrangement,
LP versions of
the album were
issued in the
United States by
Mercury Records
which at the time
issued Stewart's
solo albums
while cassette
and
8-track configurations
were issued by
Warner Bros. Records,
the Faces'
former label and
with whom Stewart
would sign as a
solo artist
following the
Faces' demise.
The cassette and
8-track versions
also include an extra track
"(I Know) I'm Losing You"
The back cover photo
is actually the
Old Boston Garden
taken on
May 2, 1973.
Long out of print
in the
United States,
Coast to Coast
is only available as an
import from Japan.
The Faces
would disband
within a year
and a half of the
album's release.
