The album takes off with , the founding guitarist, and the only member who has remained in all the band's lineups.

Talking about Tony is a synonym for ; therefore, The Many Faces begins with him and his collaboration with Bobby Harrison.

For most people, the name of Bobby Harrison could have little meaning, but for students of the confines of the world of rock, Bobby was the first drummer of ,

whom he abandoned shortly after recording A Whiter Shade of Pale, the band’s iconic track.

Bobby retired because he wanted to start his own project: Freedom, a hard rock band who ended up having little success.

In 1975, Bobby recorded Funkiest, a solo album for which he recruited a range of top collaborators such as guitarist  (), bass player  (, T. Rex, among many others),

drummer  () and keyboardist Matthew Fisher () and , who does an excellent guitar work on King Of the Night, the track included here.

In 1976, the British hard rock band Quartz, from Birmingham, embarked, as a support group, on a tour with their friends and fellow citizens . 

To honor the friendship and good times shared,  produced their eponymous debut album, released in 1977, from where we included the song: Mainline Riders. Guitarist/Keyboardist  from Quartz left the band in 1979 to precisely join  with whom he stayed until 2004. Then in 2011, Quartz re-formed with a line-up consisted of , Mike Hopkins, Derek Arnold, Malcolm Cope and former vocalist David Garner releasing the album "Fear No Evil" in 2016. Nicholls died in early 2017 but in his final days, he wrote and recorded with Quartz the song "Highway to Madness' that has been unreleased until now. 

Thanks to the band, we have the exclusive on this special edition of The Many Faces of .

Cozy played in ’s albums Headless Cross (89), Tyr (90) and Forbidden (95). 

In The Many Faces we introduced him with a Bedlam song (I Believe In You), his own project, which released its only album in 1973. 

This version is a rare live recording that will be especially appreciated by Cozy’s fans. 

In the chaotic world of , drummers have changed a lot following the split of the original lineup, after the departure of  in 1978.

In 1983, following the departure of ,  makes a strange move when it incorporated singer , Deep Purples’ original vocalist. 

Together they recorded the album Born Again (83), that has many enjoyable moments. 

In The Many Faces we listen to Ian with its powerful track Finally The Finale, recorded for his own solo project.

Next is , drummer and founding member of two institutions of the British rock:

the psychedelic group The Move and pop-rock symphonic band .

the psychedelic classic he recorded with The Move in 1967 and which reached #2 in the British singles chart.

However, between 1986 and 1987 he was 's drummer and recorded with the band the albums "Seventh Star" and "The Eternal Idol". 

He appears here doing a version of 's hit "Over The Mountain" along Brad Gillis (),  (Slaughter), Gary Moon and Paul Taylor.

One of 's most iconic songs has been without a doubt "Paranoid".

including  of , 's guitar master , bassist Stu Hamm (, ) and drummer Greg Bissonette (, , Spinal Tap)

Drummer  was part of  in four different occasions recorded multiple albums with the band between 1982 and 2010. 

In The Many Faces he appears along Marko Pukkila,  and Andy Endberg doing a rockin' remake of 's "And The ".

The album "Seventh Star" from 1986 wasn't one of the band's more successful (actually, it was supposed to be 's solo debut). 

However, that line-up included (alongside Nicholls, Singer and ) legendary bassist and singer  on vocals
