FACES: The Official Signed Limited Edition Book by Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones

http://www.genesis-publications.com/faces/

The Faces were quite simply one of the finest rock groups ever to emerge from Britain. Rising from the ashes of The Small Faces, it was a band that blended some of the most talented musicians of the era – Ronnie Wood and Lane, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones and Rod Stewart – to create a swaggering, booze-fuelled, funk-filled, blues-rock that was sublime on record and incomparable live.

Faces is the first book ever published by the band and features original text by Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones along with over 200 photographs charting the band from its formation in late 1969 to its eventual demise in 1975.

Limited to 1,975 copies worldwide, each copy is signed by Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood.

ONE OF BRITAIN'S GREATEST CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROCK'N'ROLL, THE FACES' BRAND OF PUB SWAGGER HAD THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF GRIT, CHARM, MISCHIEF, SOUL, STYLE AND WICKED SENSE OF HUMOUR, TO MAKE THEM ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC BANDS OF ALL TIME.

– Slash, from his Foreword

The photographs, sourced from renowned rock and roll photographers from all over the world, as well as the band's own personal archives, are a stunning mixture of the iconic and never-before-seen. They capture the chaotic intensity of the Faces' career: the incendiary live shows, the on-stage laughs and off-stage high-lives, the private jets, groupies, drink, drugs, clothes, haircuts and Holiday Inns.

THE FACES HAVE GOT SOUL IN ABUNDANCE.

– Glen Matlock, from his Foreword

The book is available in two editions: The Collector Edition is printed onto heavyweight matt art paper and hand-bound. The binding is quarter-leather onto purple cloth covers with gold foil blocking and page edging. Every aspect of the book's design and contents have been selected and approved by the band members, down to Ronnie Wood's choice of binding materials and colour scheme. It is housed in a slipcase featuring artwork extracted from the poster originally included with their 1971 album, A Nod's As Good As A Wink... To A Blind Horse. Each hand-numbered book is individually signed by Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood.

The Deluxe Edition is fully bound in a purple suede leather with gold foil blocking and page edges, and is housed in a cloth solander box with gold foil blocking. The inside of the drop-back box is lined with artwork extracted from the A Nod's As Good As A Wink… poster. Each copy is numbered from 1 to 350 and signed by Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood. Accompanying the Deluxe edition is a limited edition giclée print of an original Ronnie Wood artwork. Each numbered print is signed by Ronnie Wood and is suitable for framing.

WE PLAYED HARD AND FAST. IT WAS A HELL OF A FOUR-PIECE, AND THERE WERE NO RULES. WE WERE DRIVING EACH OTHER AND THE ARRANGEMENTS GOT MORE AND MORE COMPLEX. THERE'D BE CHANGES OF TEMPO IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG AND THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD KEEP YOU AWAKE, AND MADE THE MUSIC MUCH MORE INTERESTING. WE WERE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER BAND!

- IAN MCLAGAN

I HAD A LONG SLIDE GUITAR SOLO AND I USED TO PLAY TRIBUTES TO ALL KINDS OF MUSIC: THE STONES, DELANEY & BONNIE, BLUES, JAZZ AND A LITTLE BIT OF THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER... THEY WERE SET PIECES FOR ME, AND KENNEY USED TO DO A DRUM SOLO AS WELL. EVERYONE ELSE WOULD GO TO THE TOILET OR HAVE A DRINK AND A FAG.

- RONNIE WOOD

WE GAVE THE IMPRESSION, WHICH WAS TRUE, THAT THE FANS COULD COME ON STAGE AT ANY TIME WITH US AND WE COULD JUMP OFF STAGE AND BE WITH THEM. SO WHEN WE PLAYED A GIG IT WAS LIKE A GIANT PARTY; THERE WAS A GREAT ATMOSPHERE

- KENNEY JONES

Forewords by Slash, Mick Hucknall and Glen Matlock. Introduction by Brad Tolinski, editor of Guitar World Magazine. Afterword by Paul Westerberg.

What's a Giclée print ?

i want to uby a certain painting and it says its a ''Giclée print '' ??
i want it because its signed by the artist , it costs a lot so i just wondererd what ''Giclée print '' meant?? thanks

Giclée (pronounced /ʒiːˈkleɪ/ "zhee-clay" or /dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French [ʒiˈkle]) is an invented name (i.e. a neologism) for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray"[1]. It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne[2], a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
