The Smallb> Faces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Smallb> Faces were a British rock and roll band of the 1960s, led by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane with Kenny Jones and original organist Jimmy Winston.
The Smallb> Faces were all genuine East End mods and they ranked a very close second to The Who as Britain's premier Mod band.
Critics raved, and the album sold well, but like The Beatles did with Sgt. Pepper, they were confronted by the practical problem that they had created a studio masterpiece which was all but impossible to recreate on the road.

Smallb> Faces - RockinTown Bio

The Smallb> Faces were famous for their eclectic and experimental album "Odgen's Nut Gone Flake" and the single "Itchycoo Park," a trippy song that featured drug references, phasing, reverb and echo.
"Smallb> Faces," released in '67, is the original studio album with "Itchycoo Park".
"Anthology 1965-67" has the Smallb> Faces' U.K. hits and their international smash "Itchycoo Park." "Odgen's Nut Gone Flake" is an interesting album, though not a kicking Rocker.

BILLBOARD

Though it didn't appear on the original album, the new version of the Immediate "Smallb> Faces" album features their 1967 hit single "Itchycoo Park." This mocking look at the hippie movement was one of the first records to feature the surreal effect called phasing.
The group's 1967 album "Smallb> Faces" has recently been re-released by the U.K.'s Sanctuary label in a deluxe 35th anniversary, two-disc edition.
The new Smallb> Faces released "Playmates" (1977) and "'78 in the Shade" (1978).

UK CD Music : Smallb> Faces

The Smallb> Faces were one of the most successful bands of the 60's even though they never made it big in America.
The album is a mixture of American R and B and soul music but the few covers on the album throw in straight forward blues and jazz influences.
This is their debut album and the only one on this label.

Smallb> Faces/Faces

Instead this is actually the Smallb> Faces self-titled debut album I'm reviewing - for not knowing the title, I still swear that I have listened to this album a few times before reviewing it.
I must say I was a moron for not knowing which Smallb> Faces album I had (I guess I never actually looked at the title of the album on the case - I just assumed it was There Are But Four Smallb> Faces since I knew of that album title).
The Smallb> Faces self-titled debut is a garage band classic much like the Who's and the Kinks'.

VH1.com : The Smallb> Faces : Biography

This, in turn, prevented Marriott and Lane from exploring their full potential as songwriters, and in 1966, with albums like Rubber Soul and Revolver emanating from the Beatles and Aftermath from the Rolling Stones, songwriting was becoming an essential activity for any band that could do it.
The Smallb> Faces were the best English band never to hit it big in America.
By the end of 1966, the Smallb> Faces had severed their ties with Arden which, in effect, ended their relationship with Decca (though the two sides would argue and debate that point for a while), and in early 1967 moved under the wing of Rolling Stones manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham.

Making Time- The Smallb> Faces- Smallb> Faces

The CD release of the album adds tracks not on the initial release but which did appear on a US-only release, There Are But Four Smallb> Faces.
The Smallb> Faces had signed to the new Immediate record label where they had been promised ample studio time and space to develop their creativity.
Both of these, and their b-sides, are included on the CD release of the album.

The Smallb> Faces : Smallb> Faces (Immediate) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect

Smallb> Faces was the second LP of that name issued by the band in the space of a year, a fact that -- coupled with its release a year later in America in somewhat modified form as There Are But Four Smallb> Faces -- has always confused fans of the group's work.
This particular album was the Smallb> Faces' Immediate Records debut, and caught the group in the transition from an R&B-based mod band into a psychedelic-oriented outfit.
Some of the music lacks the kind of polish that the group would bring to subsequent projects, but Smallb> Faces was still a major leap forward for the group, as far in front of their 1966 album of the same name as, say, Rubber Soul was from Help!

The Smallb> Faces Biography

Their first Immediate album, entitled Smallb> Faces (known in the U.S., where it was released somewhat belatedly through Columbia Records' distribution, as There Are But Four Smallb> Faces), was issued in mid-1967, and was an instant hit.
By the end of 1966, the Smallb> Faces had severed their ties with Arden which, in effect, ended their relationship with Decca (though the two sides would argue and debate that point for a while), and in early 1967 moved under the wing of Rolling Stones manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham.
Ironically, although they were always glad to have a hit, the bandmembers weren't entirely pleased with the single's success, because they felt the song didn't represent their true sound, and it was also extremely difficult to play on-stage, owing to its acoustic guitar sound and varied musical textures.

Smallb> Faces (1st LP) by Smallb> Faces CD

Smallb> Faces' debut album shows a band able to both tackle tunes from the belly of American R&B and to offer up its own bracing originals.
Much like the early Who, Smallb> Faces had an exuberance that threatened to detonate the band's songs but instead kept the players rolling forward with unrelenting fervor.
Those who are only familiar with Smallb> Faces from the band's later incarnation as the Rod Stewart-fronted Faces should look into SMALLb> FACES for an earful of how it all began.

Smallb> Faces - There Are But Four Smallb> Faces sputnikmusic

With only one song released in America, the Smallb> Faces were a little English band with a really catchy hook to a single called Itchycoo Park.
Starting it all is the Smallb> Faces only single, Itchycoo Park which has some very fun acoustic guitar playing, with a four note hook that Baba OReiley is jealous of.
There Are But Four Smallb> Faces, said to be the bands best album, which features awesome drumming throughout the entire duration, is catchy beyond belief.

The Smallb> Faces

The talented songwriting team of Marriott and Lane was also a key component in The Smallb> Faces' listenability, perhaps not in writing original lyrics, but in creating inventive melodies that went beyond the blues and soul chestnuts that groups with lesser writers were condemned to.
While Townsend's guitar work could become metallic, and eventually acoustic sounding at times, The Smallb> Faces kept a growly, almost early-Kinks style guitar sound with extra depth and a more soulful sound thanks to McLagan's keyboard and heavy bass by Lane.
The Smallb> Faces could out-cool just about any of their contemporaries of the mid-60s, and produced some of the most soulful r&b of the era as well.

Smallb> Faces - Ultimate Collection @ Designer Magazine

Smallb> Faces - Ultimate Collection presents for the first time ever a comprehensive view of the groups four year recording career including material from the two labels to which they were signed.
The Smallb> Faces were Mods from London's East End - former child actor Steve Marriott on vocals and guitar, Ronnie Lane on bass, Jimmy Winston on organ to be replaced by Ian 'Mac' McLagon from the third single, and Kenny Jones on drums.
A 'Face' was a Mod expression as in a 'a face about town' and all four were lacking in height hence the Smallb> Faces.

RollingStone.com: First Step : Smallb> Faces : Review

The songs on the album are varied and come from all kinds of places.
The basic weakness with the album is that although the music is original, it is also highly derivative.

Smallb> Faces/Humble Pie/Frampton

Someone's got to be second-rate, I guess, and the Smallb> Faces unfortunately spent their career being the second-best Mod band, after the Who.
Like all of his solo records before his breakthrough live album, this one is a guilty pleasure, weighed down by air-headed lyrics but lifted by good hooks and good vibes.
Not to be confused with the later Immediate records debut album, which was given the same name in its British release.

Making Time- The Smallb> Faces

The album Smallb> Faces was released and showed the band at their RandB best.
Smallb> Faces showed just how far the band had come with the songs moving beyond pop or even the band's RandB roots to show more inventiveness.
Smallb> Faces, the East-End's fab four, created an enduring legacy during a brief career so much so they not only do they remain highly respected but they continue to attract a young fan base and are widely cited as influences by major artists today including Paul Weller, Oasis, Blur and Supergrass.

Smallb> Faces Reviews

I may be off a little, but I believe this was the first album the Smallb> Faces made as a concrete album, and it shows: this contains the flaky excitement and energy of a band let loose for an extended period in the studio for the first time.
I don't have this one, but everything indicates that this one isn't worth purchasing: the Smallb> Faces switched labels before recording this album, which means that there's a lot of confusing overlap with this release (on Immediate) with the succeeding From the Beginning (on Decca).
The Smallb> Faces were full of the pep and go speed freaks have on their non-sleep weekends throwing ballroom parties and listening to Stax/Volt and Dusty Springfield records, having one big Blow-Up before they go back Monday to their boring dead-end desk clerk jobs.

Amazon.ca: Music: Smallb> Faces [IMPORT] [BEST OF] [DELUXE EDITION]

The year 1967 marked The Smallb> Faces change of record labels (from Decca to Andrew Loog Oldham's newly-formed Immediate), and a switch from the more randb-based British mod sound to a more psychedelic-flavored pop sound.
Although the contents of the Smallb> Faces' Immediate debut (after 2 albums from Decca) may be found elsewhere, such as the superb compilation "Darlings of Wapping Wharf Launderette," the sequencing and overall concept of this package makes it superior for anyone who doesn't have this material already.
I have listened to this album, and I want to review it.

Rod Stewart/The Faces

In 1977 the Smallb> Faces reformed for a tour and two albums, but Lane didn't take part and instead cut the successful LP Rough Mix with Pete Townshend.
The Faces started out as a reincarnated version of those mod popsters the Smallb> Faces, but eventually established a completely different identity (changing their name helped a little).
The Smallb> Faces had been cast adrift when guitarist/frontman Steve Marriott got a bee in his bonnet and took off to create a new band with Peter Frampton (Humble Pie).

http://www.warr.org/faces.html (254 words)



The Smallb> Faces

Naturally, since this is a psycho album, the Smallb> Faces pile everything on top of it - the music is just as diverse, colourful and variegated as the album cover.
The American version, in order to avoid being confused with the band's Decca debut, was retitled There Are But Four Smallb> Faces, contained 12 songs instead of 14, and, as usual, contained all the wrong ones, dusting a handful of album tracks off the table in favour of "well known" singles of the period.
Nothing surprising about that, either, as the Smallb> Faces were the Who's main rivals throughout Mod clubs; having, however, arrived on the scene just a wee bit too late - and in the mid-Sixties, you could be late by ten days, let alone a whole month - they couldn't get rid of the bandwagon-jumping tag.
