Small Faces was the second official studio album by the English rhythm and blues band Small Faces. It peaked at number 12 in the UK Album Chart[1] and was their first LP for Immediate in 1967. Confusingly, their previous debut album released on Decca in 1966 is also entitled Small Faces.

[edit] Album profile

At the time of the release of this album, an unofficial second album From the Beginning was released by Decca. Small Faces had transferred to the Immediate label headed by Andrew Loog Oldham.

At the beginning of "All Our Yesterdays" Steve Marriott can be heard in an exaggerated cockney voice announcing "And now for your delight, the darling of Wapping Wharf launderette, Ronald the 'Leafy' Lane!!!".

An alternative version of the Immediate Small Faces, entitled There are But Four Small Faces, was released in the United States somewhat belatedly through Columbia Records distribution.[2]
