Ooh La La Album: 2026

Faces' Fourth & Final Chart-Topper Reissue

The Faces' fourth and final studio album Ooh La La (originally released in 1973) was their only effort to top the UK Albums Chart and featured some of the band’s most popular tracks, including the title track “Ooh La La,” “Cindy Incidentally,” “Glad and Sorry,” and “Just Another Honky.”

The cover of the album was designed by Jim Ladwig, around a stylised photograph of "Gastone", a stage character of 1920s Italian comedian Ettore Petrolini. The original LP's Art Deco-inspired cover was constructed in such a way that when the top edge of the sleeve was pressed down, a concealed die-cut design element would descend that made Gastone's eyes appear to discolour and move to the side, and his jaw would appear to drop into a leering smile. The back cover also featured art deco-inspired design elements, and detailed song information and album credits alongside tinted individual photographic portraits of the band members. The original gatefold sleeve's inner design depicted a large stylised photomontage of the band in typical 'laddish' pose, admiring the charms of a can-can dancer (referencing the lyric of the title track).

Legacy

Ooh La La is the Faces' swan song — a loose, boozy, heartfelt collection of rock 'n' roll classics, with Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones at their ramshackle best.

The 2026 140g vinyl reissue brings the album back in high-quality physical form for new and longtime fans.
