While Small Faces, the band was led by the brilliance of Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott, as well as fed by the excellence of every member of the band itself. When Small Faces morphed into Faces with Ronnie Wood, and Rod Stewart as new mates, they rode a wave of new brilliance. They were a great Stones clone with a unique identity abut them. Through all of that, they were powered by Ronnie Lane.
Aside from Faces, Ronnie Lane pursued a solo career. Throughout his solo career, he released four studio albums, as well as beloved collaborations with Ron Wood (Mahoney’s Last Stand – 1976), and Pete Townshend (Rough Mix – 1977). In his life, Ronnie Lane has filled tape reels after tape reels with unforgettable music.
On May 17, a 6CD Box will supply Ronnie Lane’s four studio sets (Anymore For Anymore – 1974, Slim Chance – 1974, One For The Road – 1976, See Me – 1979) with each disc compiled with a collection of single issues, B-sides, selections from his previously mentioned Ron Wood, and Pete Townshend collaborations, selected live tracks, and alternate takes and outtakes, all liberally sprinkled throughout.
An additional CD will contain more live performance tracks as well as a selection of quality outtakes and demos. The final sixth disc will contain later period live tracks, studio sessions recordings, and a demo cut. All in all, the six discs supply a head rush of 118 songs. Box adds include a fold-out poster, a book of lyrics, and a supply of photos, notes, essays, etc.
Ronnie Lane was a talent that is greatly missed. This new box – Ronnie Lane – Just For A Moment – Music 1973-1997 – will celebrate that talent.
Just For A Moment – Music 1973-1997 will also be offered in a heavily distilled 1CD edition, and a 2LP vinyl set.
