Description
This is the rare US Koala Records 1979 release of "Baby Come Home" by Rod Stewart and the Faces lp in mint, FACTORY SEALED condition with no holes or cut-outs!
The following text in RED was borrowed from the internet to help explain the rarity of this record:
SUPER RARE '70s TAX LOSS SCAM micro-pressing. One of the rarest of the tax loss releases and very hard to find.
The recordings date back to 1967 and while there are no FACES members, legend has it that two Rolling Stones members are involved including future JEFF BECK GROUP members...see line up below. Incidentally, the title track, "Baby Come Home" has an arrangement that begins with a very simple and tasteful intro consisting of two sustained guitar chords backed with bass and drum accents. Rod sings the first verse with famed female vocalist P. P. Arnold providing an answer vocal on the chorus. She really tears into the second verse. In fact, this may be one of the best vocal performances of her career. It is truly amazing how she can put so much power into a vocal without losing the plot melody wise. The instrumental passage is very nice indeed. Two horns play a call and response, which hauntingly echoes the vocals. This gives the song a flavour reminiscent of the best recording '60s arrangements.
The rhythm section really moves the song along. The inventive bass part is highly original in its choice of notes, while still retaining a rawness which gives the song its edge. The weakest thing about this song is Rod Stewart’s vocal, which actually is quite good and he obviously has already found his trademark style. It’s just that the song, the backing and P. P. Arnold’s performance are all so much better. It is simply a great performance of an excellent song. If it had been released in 1967 and properly promoted, it could have been a huge hit and probably still being played on oldies station today. If history was different, Rod Stewart and P. P. Arnold may have gone on to become one of the great singing duos.
