The Small Faces: Essential (3-CD)

(UMC) 49 tracks, digisleeve

Formed in London in 1965, Small Faces had a particularly appropriate name. They were all mods, for whom the term face meant paying attention to what they wore, listened to, read, etc. It was All Or Nothing, written by Marriott and Lane in August '66, that tipped the scales and became #1 in the UK that fall. For the next 2 years, they were rarely not on the singles and album charts. Singles hits included My Mind's Eye (UK No. 4), Itchycoo Park (UK No. 3), Lazy Sunday (UK No. 2) and Tin Soldier (UK No. 9), while their debut long-player for Decca reached No. 3 on the album chart, the official follow-up album Immediate reached No. 12 and the subsequent Ogden's Nut Gone Flake reached No. 1 in the summer of 1968. On the surface, 1968 couldn't have gone better, but pressure had been building within the band for some time, and after a New Year's Eve show, Marriott left the band and subsequently formed Humble Pie. Lane, McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones later teamed up with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to become The Faces. Kenney Jones is unfortunately the only surviving member of the band today. He still plays occasionally with Rod and Ronnie in the Faces and kindly contributed both the track listing and artwork for this release, for which we are very grateful. You'll find all the Small Faces singles along with the main album tracks and rarities on the 3CDs.

"The Small Faces"

The Small Faces, unlike the Who whose mod image was their manager's creation to exploit the growirrg cult, really were mods. Formed in 1965 by Steve Marriott, born Jan. 30, 1947 (vocals, guitar); Ronnie 'Plonk' Lane, April 1, 1946 (bass); Jimmy Winston (organ) and Kenny Jones, Sept. 16, 1948 (drums), the group grew out of their mutual liking for the mods' favourite music — R&B and soul — and their first single, 'Whatcha Gonna Do About It?' (Decca), a hit in Sep-tember, 1965 took the riff from Solomon Burke's 'Everybody Needs Somebody To Love'.

The Marriott—Lane follow-up, I've Got Mine', released when Ian McLagan — born May 12, 1945 — replaced Winston, flopped, but within six months they were chart regulars as 'Hey Girl', 'All Or Nothing' — their only No. 1 and probably their best record — and 'My Mind's EYe' followed each other into the Top Ten. The success of these singles — all Marriott—Lane compositions — linked the group for ever with the Top Ten, and despite a label change and less obviously 'pop' material, they couldn't stop the hits or change their image. Songs like the jokey 'Itchycoo Park' (Immediate, 1967) — their only American Top Twenty record - and 'Lazy Sunday' (Immediate, 1968), recorded for albums and released as singles against the group's wishes, only heightened the problem.

After making the brilliant Ogdens Nut Gone Flake in 1968, Marriott quit and joined Peter Frampton in Humble Pie. Lane, McLagan and Jones stuck together, turned down offers to back solo performers and eventually teamed up with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood as the Faces.
