Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

What more really needs to be said about the Small Faces? Four diminutive cockney chancers who pretty much came to exemplify the mod ideal with their finely tooled, amphetamine features, impeccable sartorial correctness and sonic pop-art coalition of maximum R&B, psychedelic ennui and East End music hall chirpiness. Unfeasibly influential, they passed on aspects of their quintessentially English muse to legions of spiritual and artistic progeny, not least the Sex Pistols and Blur. Well, just when you thought the archive cupboard finally bare, this magnificent array of BBC sessions have been lovingly collated from such 1960s shows as Saturday Club and Top Gear. From the Purple Heart punchiness of "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" to the proto-Zeppelin bluesiness of "You Need Love", these rough and ready recordings are tangibly raw snapshots of the ultimate mod maestros. --Ian Fortnam


CD Description

The first official release of recordings made for radio broadcast on the BBC's Saturday Club (12 tracks spread across four sessions from 1965 and 1966) and Top Gear (three songs from a 1968 session). The first appearance on Saturday Club, which showcases their debut single "Watcha Gonna Do About It", features original keyboards player Jimmy Winston, with replacement Ian McLagan playing on all subsequent dates.
Aswell as plugging their latest singles ("Sha-La-La-La-Lee", "Hey Girl", "All or Nothing"), the diminutive Mods cover R&Bsongs like "Baby Don't Do It" and "Shake". Labelmate P.P. Arnold can be heard contributing backing vocals to "Every Little Bit Hurts" and a muscular "If I Were a Carpenter", both from the final session which also yields "Lazy Sunday", complete with sound effects. With only "Jump Back" failing to appear on an original single or album, this collection is aimed at the completist, who will also enjoy the short linking interviews, which have been collected at the end of the disc but can be programmed back into the original running order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everlasting Mod!, 31 May 2001
The Small Faces are undoubtedly the best Mod band that ever existed! This CD captures their unique style fantastically. It covers most of their range of music (selling them short on the phsycodellic front), and shows the inventiveness and forsight of one of the greatest sixites bands. Although this CD does not contain some of their best known signature music (e.g. Itchycoo Park), it does show the band at their best. The Godfathers of Mod and the founders of the Punk Rock style (clearly shown in Lazy Sunday).

LONG LIVE THE SMALL FACES
