Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners
Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners is a 1974 live album credited to Rod Stewart/Faces. Stewart's practice was not giving concerts as a solo act at the time, but rather appearing jointly with the Faces, thus the dual crediting. History 
The album presents only three songs from the previous albums by the Faces, while presenting six from Stewart's solo releases. The two tracks neither act had recorded in-studio were renditions of "I Wish It Would Rain", first made famous by The Temptations, and "Jealous Guy", by John Lennon. The performance was recorded with new Faces bassist Tetsu Yamauchi, replacing Ronnie Lane, who had left soon after the release of Ooh La La, fed up at the group increasingly being presented as Stewart's backing band. Coast to Coast was recorded live on 17 October 1973 at the Anaheim Convention Center and was mixed at Island Studios in London. In an unusual arrangement, LP versions of the album were issued in the United States by Mercury Records (which at the time issued Stewart's solo albums), while cassette and 8-track configurations were issued by Warner Bros. Records, the Faces' former label—and with whom Stewart would sign as a solo artist following the Faces' demise. The back cover photo is actually the Old Boston Garden taken on May 2, 1973. Long out of print in the United States, Coast to Coast is only available as an import from Japan. The Faces would disband within a year and a half of the album's release. Track listing
