The Definitive Rock Collection is a two-disc retrospective of the British rock group Faces released in 2007, collecting thirty tracks from among the group's four studio albums, various single A and B-sides (including two 'solo' Rod Stewart tracks which were actually Faces performances), and an outtake from the sessions for a proposed but ultimately abandoned 1975 album.
The collection includes six of ten tracks from 1970's First Step (originally credited to Small Faces); four of nine from 1971's Long Player, including the studio-recorded US-only single version of their cover of Paul McCartney's " Maybe I'm Amazed"; eight of nine from 1971's A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...To a Blind Horse; and seven of ten tracks from 1973's Ooh La La.
The liner notes are written by Sean Egan.
The Definitive Rock Collection has received a largely positive response from critics since its release. It's the AllMusic "album pick" for compilations of the band (non- box set). Thom Jurek wrote for AllMusic that "this baby replaces the previous collection ( Good Boys... When They're Asleep) in sound and content." [1]
