This is it, guys -- finally, The Faces remastered with bonus tracks. The initial pre-order price is best at Amazon UK (currently about $20 less than the American price), so let's lock that one in:

Out of curiosity, I went back and checked on the tracklists that had been announced for the individual Faces remasters which were briefly scheduled in 2007, then cancelled. The bonuses on this new box set are very close to those tracklists -- adding a handful of radio performances, missing a few others. With the bonus disc included here, this box is actually more complete than the original expanded editions would have been. So it all seems to have turned out for the best in the end.

Fab gear groovy keen !! Thanks Linda !! (interesting that the mock up shows the US covers, since the last batch of US CDs used the UK covers, but I digress...)

Banned??? Moi???
From the picture, the covers look pretty one-dimensional. It'd be a big job to really duplicate the original album packages, but would also be a selling point for people like us.

Somehow the Faces are a gap in my collection, so I may have to get this.... (Odd, since I do have everything the Small Faces did.... not much of a Rod fan, though.)

All of the single A & B sides are on the Five Guys box.
It looks like the only tracks omitted from the old tentative Faces reissue track listing are
Gasoline Alley (live at the Fillmore East) - This was eventually released on the Stay With Me Anthology It's All Over Now (Live BBC) True Blue (Live in Pocono PA)
Based upon the track listing, these bonus tracks might be previously released on the Five Guys box but I can't be sure without seeing the dates.
Miss Judy's Farm (BBC Session) Stay With Me (BBC Session)
These are previously released on the import 2 cd Stay With Me Faces Anthology.
Too Much Woman (For A Henpecked Man) [Live - Fillmore East, New York 11/10/70] Love In Vain (Live - Fillmore East, New York 11/10/70)

So, are any of these new bonus tracks previously unreleased?
I have the Five Guys box.
If I get this box and Overture and Beginners will I have everything that has been officially released or are there any other stray tracks anywhere else? (on the Stay With Me anthology, for example?)

I posted this 2 posts above your question. These are the only bonus tracks that have been released or might have been released.

The Stay With Me Anthology has a live version of Gasoline Alley from Fillmore East, New York 11/10/70 that is not included on this set or the Five Guys box.
There are also some Faces studio tracks on Rod Stewart's early solo albums. Even though they appear on Rod's solo albums, the Faces play on them.

They were all unfortunate misunderstandings
It's been a long, long time coming...
I didn't spring for the remasters from a few years ago in the hopes these versions would eventually get a release and it looks like my patience has finally been rewarded. To get them all together in a box for under £30 makes it a no-brainer. I love the version of "Mona" the Two Rons did for their Mahoney's Last Stand album, and in the London Rock documentary from 1970 there's a clip showing them rehearsing the song [possibly during the First Step sessions] along with Mac and Rod performing an impromptu alfresco version of "Flying". Neither are shown in full unfortunately but maybe the "Mona" on this box is from that performance. Can't wait to find out.
Coast To Coast I can happily live without as it's not that great and is post Ronnie Lane anyway. I'll have said this before, but I'll say it again: the band easily survived and adapted after Steve Marriott's departure, and could easily have survived Rod Stewart jumping ship, but once Ronnie Lane left, they were over [and they knew it]. Even Woody leaving would've been just about survivable if the core trio of Lane, Mac and Kenney J had stuck together.

London Rock was a documentary from 1970 featuring 10-minute long clips of Marc Bolan, Faces and others putting the world to rights. The whole thing was shown on the Sky Arts channel a few times fairly recently. You won't find it on Amazon, I don't think it's ever been commercially released.
The Faces clip is up on YouTube alongside a couple of other much shorter snippets...
Edit: Interestingly, having just rewatched that clip, the song that Mac and Rodders jam in the field is 'Nobody Knows', not 'Flying'...
Son of Edit: It's also painfully apparent from that clip how much the creative partnership between Wood & Lane must have suffered later on as Roderick's star ascended into the heavens, and how isolated Plonk must have ended up feeling in his own band. What might have been, eh?
