SMALL FACES There Are But Four Small Faces (LP, 180g Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Immediate Recordings) 12 tracks, 180g vinyl, limited edition.

The Small Faces' American debut album on Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records was released in stereo and features different songs than the 1967 British version, including stereo versions of their two USA hits, "Itchycoo Park" and "Tin Soldier," and the British singles "Green Circles" and "Here Come The Nice."

This definitive edition was overseen by surviving band member Kenney Jones and the late Ian McLagan, who predeceased him, and features extensive accompanying commentary by Ken Sharp as well as exclusive interviews with Olympic Studios sound engineer George Chkiantz and fellow Immediate member PP Arnold.

With the full cooperation of surviving Small Faces member Kenney Jones, the beloved London mod quartet has repackaged its classic Immediate Records albums as deluxe CDs with digi sleeves and remastered into vinyl LPs by longtime Small Faces remastering engineer Nick Robbins. The lacquers were cut by Barry Grint, Air Studios' senior mastering engineer. Rob Caiger, Immediate Records label manager and producer of the Small Faces reissues, continued his 20-year search for missing tapes with Kenney to ensure the best possible sources were used for the reissues. "Small Faces" (1967); "There Are But Four Small Faces" (1968); "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" (1968) & "Greatest Hits" will be reissued under Immediate Records catalog numbers.

"The Autumn Stone" will be released in 2023 in various formats, including a deluxe box set. The original LP artwork has been faithfully reconfigured for the CD and comes with a 16-page, fully illustrated booklet that includes extensive cover notes, archival and current interviews, housed in a protective PVC sleeve. The LPs are pressed on black 180-gram vinyl and limited edition colored vinyl, while each LP and CD comes with a custom Small Faces/Immediate Records collector's obi-strip for each CD and LP edition.

The audiophile LP was cut by Matt Colton at Air Studios in London from the recently discovered original production master tape, with nothing else in the signal path or in the lacquer. The editing session was conducted under the supervision of Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan.
