Album Description
Available in:
First Step was the first album by the British group Faces, released in early 1970. (The album is credited to the Small Faces on all North American issues and reissues)) The album was released only a few months after the Faces had formed from the ashes of the Small Faces (from which Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan hailed) and The Jeff Beck Group (from which Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood hailed.)

It is generally regarded as their weakest studio effort, recorded at London's famous De Lane Lea Studios too soon after the group's formation, and reached no higher than #119 on the Billboard charts. Highlights include "Stone", "Three Button Hand Me Down", "Shake, Shudder, Shiver" and the album's centerpiece, "Flying".

The album cover shows Ronnie Wood reading a copy of seminal guitar tutor "First Step" by Geoffrey Sisley.

On 28 August 2015, the album was reissued in a remastered and expanded form, including two previously unreleased outtakes, "Behind The Sun" and "Mona The Blues", although the latter was remade in 1972 for the Mahoney's Last Stand film soundtrack.

Rod Stewart - lead and backing vocals, banjo
Ronnie Wood - lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals, harmonica
Ian McLagan - Hammond organ, backing vocals, Wurlitzer electric and acoustic pianos
Ronnie Lane - bass, backing and lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Kenney Jones - drums
