Synopsis
At long last, the definitive official DVD for one of the greatest groups of the sixties (or any other decade for that matter.). Small Faces: All Or Nothing 1965 – 1968 features 27 complete performances filmed from 1965 to 1968 when the band was challenging the Who, Kinks, Stones and Beatles for domination of the charts. The DVD captures every aspect of their short but brilliant career including early Mod/R&B classics such as “What’cha Gonna Do About It”, “Sha La La La Lee” and “All Or Nothing”, timeless rockers like “Tin Soldier” and later psychedelic masterpieces including “Itchycoo Park”, and “Green Circles.” Best of all is the inclusion of eight songs from the band’s LP masterpiece Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake including “Lazy Sunday”, “Song Of A Baker” and the six song Happiness Stan suite. In between the performances original members Ian McLagan, Kenny Jones and Jimmy Winston talk about the songs and tell the band’s history in new interviews filmed exclusively for the DVD. Also interwoven into the story are archival interviews with Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. This DVD is one of the first four releases in the British Invasion series and is sold individually or as part of the British Invasion Boxset containing Gerry & The Pacemakers: It’s Gonna Be Alright 1963- 1965, Herman’s Hermits: Listen People 1964 – 1969 and Dusty Springfield Once Upon A Time 1964 - 1969. Reelin’ In The Years Productions, has created some of the best loved and critically praised DVD series on the market today including the Definitive Motown series (Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles), American Folk Blues Festival series and Jazz Icons series. Now, with Metropolis Studios’ Voyage label, they are proud to give the deluxe treatment to one of the greatest periods ever in music – the British Invasion. Each DVD features archival full-length television performances filmed back when the artists were in their prime and at the height of their careers. Interspersed between the performances, original band members talk about each song and recount special moments in the history of the group. In addition, each performance has been transferred from the original master tape and includes best-possible video and re-mastered audio. Each DVD also includes a 24-page booklet with insightful and informative essays by noted rock historians as well as previously unseen photos and memorabilia.

Small Faces - All Or Nothing 1965 -1968 [DVD],
By
This review is from: Small Faces - All Or Nothing 1965 -1968 [DVD] (DVD)
Great DVD,
We finally get all the promos (minus a couple) all in one place and all in great quality, and the voice overs and interviews are all by the band members which is great and not some one offering their own opinions. Nothing really new is revealed but its nice to get things put down on record by the boys themselves. If your a big fan you may already have this stuff but it probaly isnt as good a quality and as well presented. The promos are all availible in the extras area with no interuption of voice overs, and there is also many extra promos including all the 'beat beat beat' performance. I feel the actual 'beat beat beat' dvd ( you'll find it here on amazon somewhere) is still of some value though, due to it very high quality. the Extras section Includes some nice photographs to view, taken in 67 in olympic studios, I've never seen these before, and i reckon I must have seen most of the pics involving the small faces. My only little gripe would be they did not include all the french show (ogdens, rollin over and song of the baker) unless I'm mistaken. but this is a small gripe. Alternatives: Pay £25-£30 on ebay for similar bootlegs which are pretty poor quality really or watch them in pretty poor quality on youtube. summary all you need in one place good value and good quality. highley recommended 10 out of 10

Great video, superb sound quality,
By King Croesus (Peebles, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Faces - All Or Nothing 1965 -1968 [DVD] (DVD)
I purchased this DVD mainly to watch the elusive "Colour Me Pop" footage which I had only seen on poor quality bootleg video previously. It was a pleasant surprise for me to see the great quality of all the old footage and to see one or two clips for the first time.
However what really bowled me over was the sound quality. If you have a 5.1 surround sound system you will really appreciate having the option to listen to many of the tracks in surround sound. Even the live recordings from "Beat Beat Beat" which are in mono still sound fantastic. Steve Marriott was probably the greatest white soul singer ever produced in this country and he has never sounded so good as on this DVD. Although it is possible to skip the interviews I would recommend playing the complete disc through at least once to get an insight into the history and background to this great band. Sadly Marriott and Lane are no longer with us but there are old interviews with them along with completely new interviews with Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston who was a founder member. Apart from the ommission of the brilliant video clip for "Get Yourself Together" there is not much more that could be added to what is a comprehensive video history of the band and I can thoroughly recommend it especially if you have never seen any of the clips before.

Happy days Toy Town,

This review is from: Small Faces - All Or Nothing 1965 -1968 [DVD] (DVD)
So here we have it a talking heads style documentary on one of the 60's best bands the Small Faces. With interviews from band members both alive and dead (Via archive), this is an affectionate documentary showing the trial and tribulations of a 60's band how the bands were ripped off by their management the story told in the words of the band members. What makes this package exceptional is the option to watch whole performances without the interviews 27 complete songs in restored picture and sound quality this beats pretty much any bootleg video I have seen.
A very worthy and worthwhile addition to any fan of 60's pop music collection. Buy it and enjoy. This could be twice the price and still be a bargain 5 Star DVD for a 5 Star band.
