THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces Of... The Beachboys [2021] (3 x CDs)

Released in 2021 by Music Brokers, VA – The Many Faces Of... The Beach Boys is a 3CD set that dives into the early roots, side projects, and sunshine pop legacy surrounding America’s iconic surf band. It’s part of the label’s Many Faces Of... series, known for exploring the lesser-known corners of major artists’ careers.

CD1 focuses on pre-fame and rare Beach Boys recordings, including early singles like “Surfin’ Safari,” “Luau,” and “Surfer Girl.” You’ll also find tracks by Kenny & The Cadets, a short-lived side project featuring Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, and Al Jardine, plus cuts from Bruce & Jerry (Bruce Johnston’s early duo). Even “Kokomo” makes an appearance—though here it’s credited to Eternal Trip, a studio group.

CD2 shifts to Surf City Allstars, a band featuring Al Jardine and David Marks, revisiting Beach Boys classics like “California Girls,” “God Only Knows,” and “Help Me Rhonda.” These are re-recordings, not original Beach Boys masters, but they’re performed by key alumni with care and polish.

CD3 expands the view to the broader sunshine pop and psych-adjacent scene, with tracks by Chad & Jeremy, Grapefruit, The Mirage, Mortimer, and Paper Bubble. These selections echo the Beach Boys’ melodic sensibilities and studio sophistication, offering a snapshot of the era’s harmonic richness.

The set was released in both vinyl (2LP) and CD formats, with the vinyl edition pressed on colored 180g vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve. Licensing credits span Barsa Promociones, PMB Music, Collectables Records, and Cherry Red, reflecting the compilation’s patchwork of sources.

While not an official Beach Boys release, it’s a fascinating look at the band’s orbit, early experiments, reimagined classics, and the ripple effect they had on pop’s golden age. And for collectors, it’s worth noting, not available on streaming platforms. (B)

VA - The Many Faces Of Ramones [2014] (3 x CDs)

THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces Of Ramones [2014] (3 x CDs)

Released in 2014 by Music Brokers, The Many Faces of Ramones is a three-CD unofficial compilation that explores the sprawling legacy of punk’s most iconic band — not just through their own music, but through side projects, collaborations, and the songs that shaped them. It’s part tribute, part family tree, and part musical archaeology.

Disc 1 and 2, titled The Family Tree, feature tracks by Ramones members in various guises: Joey Ramone with Die Toten Hosen on “Blitzkrieg Bop,” Dee Dee Ramone’s solo work, Marky Ramone & The Intruders, CJ Ramone’s Bad Chopper, and even Tommy Ramone’s Uncle Monk. There are guest appearances from Lemmy, Nina Hagen, Joan Jett, and Lux Interior, adding layers to the Ramones’ punk orbit.

Disc 3, The Originals, is a crate-digger’s delight — showcasing the songs the Ramones famously covered or drew inspiration from. You’ll find “Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen, “California Sun” by The Rivieras, and “Needles and Pins” by The Searchers, alongside garage and surf classics from Jan & Dean, The Seeds, and Max Frost & The Troopers.

Though unofficial, the set is thoughtfully sequenced and packed with rarities, including live cuts and lesser-known collaborations. It’s not just for die-hard fans; it’s for anyone curious about the connective tissue between punk rock and the broader musical landscape that fed it. A digipak release with foldout packaging, it’s a punk historian’s mixtape with heart and grit. (B)

VA - The Many Faces of Queen [2018] (3 x CDs)

THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces of Queen [2018] (3 x CDs)

Released in 2018 by Music Brokers, The Many Faces of Queen – A Journey Through the Inner World of Queen is a fascinating 3CD exploration that peels back the layers of one of rock’s most theatrical and enigmatic bands. Rather than simply rehashing Queen’s greatest hits, this compilation dives into the band’s roots, side projects, and legacy through a mix of rare recordings, collaborations, and symphonic reinterpretations.

CD1 focuses on Queen’s early DNA, featuring pre-fame recordings by Smile (Brian May and Roger Taylor’s proto-Queen band), Larry Lurex (Freddie Mercury’s early alias), and collaborations like “The Man from Manhattan” with Eddie Howell. It’s a glimpse into the band’s embryonic brilliance before the crown was ever worn.

CD2 shifts into tribute territory, with hard rock and metal luminaries like Lemmy, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Glenn Hughes reimagining Queen classics. These covers are muscular, reverent, and occasionally wild, proof of Queen’s far-reaching influence.

CD3 The Queen Symphony, reinterprets iconic tracks like “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You” through orchestral arrangements, offering a cinematic finale to the journey.

For fans and collectors alike, this set is more like a kaleidoscopic celebration of Queen’s enduring mystique. (B)

THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces of Sex Pistols [2013] (3 x CDs)

The Sex Pistols didn’t just shake up music, they completely tore down the rulebook and rewrote it in chaotic, rebellious fashion. Decades after their explosive debut, their influence can still be heard in modern punk and beyond. The Many Faces of Sex Pistols is a fascinating deep dive into the band’s history, exploring their raw beginnings, infamous breakup, and the lesser-known musical paths that followed.

This 3CD collection, released in 2013, offers a mix of early demos, live performances, alternate versions, and solo recordings from Sid Vicious. The first disc features recordings from various sources, including the legendary Gooseberry Sessions. The second disc brings a rare find, the complete transfer of Dave Goodman’s 1992 album Deny, a hard-to-come-by artifact of British punk history. The third disc collects additional material, including tracks from Sid’s time at Max's Kansas City, though the quality varies. One of the most intriguing parts of this set is the inclusion of the Ex Pistols, a project spearheaded by Dave Goodman after the original band’s split. Their recordings have long been considered one of the hidden treasures of British punk, offering an alternative take on the Pistols’ energy and style.

Packaged in a tri-fold Digipak with catchy artwork, liner notes, and newly remastered sound, The Many Faces of Sex Pistols isn’t just for fans, it’s a must-have for anyone interested in the wild, unpredictable world of rock history. Whether you know every riff by heart or are just diving into their legacy, this collection captures the spirit of a band that refused to play by the rules. (B)
