Notes

The four-CD box has more music, and there are lots of other anthologies out there, and this one only gives you a couple of cuts off of their magnum opus, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (which is still essential listening and should be bought separately); but short of a six-disc set that has everything, this double-disc set is probably the best general overview that anyone is likely to provide of the Small Faces, covering their Decca as well as their Immediate Records outputs with more than reasonable thoroughness. The 16 Decca tracks represent their complete singles output for the label, A- and B-sides alike, and they sound great, too; 12 more songs on disc one represent their Immediate Records output on 45 rpm record. Disc two opens with Steve Marriott's two early solo sides for Decca on which he sounded amazingly like Buddy Holly, followed by a pair of songs (including a cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me") that he cut fronting the Moments, prior to hooking up with the Small Faces. Four solo sides by original organist Jimmy Winston (two of them credited the Winston's Fumbs) are followed by a series of late-era Small Faces cuts, including outtakes, and a previously unissued version of the Marriott/Lane song "Groovy" credited to "the Lot," which was soul singer P.P. Arnold fronting the Small Faces. The 55-song set also comes with a nicely illustrated and written booklet.
