The Small Faces spring ’66 debut LP represented a three-pronged alliance between the band’s concert set which they’d been perfecting since May 1965, a couple of Tin Pan Alley-style gifts bestowed on them, and a clutch of callow but surprisingly assured originals.

Hot under the collar and hastily executed, Small Faces had pop, soul and very little in the way of 12-bar rock’n’roll; which was rare for a beat combo. Above all, the record caught the flavour of those changing times.

From the Beginning was released by Decca following the band’s departure to Immediate. The album came out 3 weeks before Small Faces, the authorised self-titled Immediate LP, and the album remains part one of a two-part Small Faces bonanza that month. From The Beginning provided an untidy summation of the previous, action-packed 12 months. It’s certainly the rogue in the Small Faces’ pack, but clearly of the loveable variety.

What this collection manages to do is demonstrate the way the band were developing and maturing in their sound. They tackled Del Shannon’s Runaway and even released the Christmas hit My Mind’s Eye which got to number four in the charts.

Informed by beat, soul and incipient psychedelia, it’s the tension between Marriott’s cocky instantaneity and Lane’s measured reflection that really lies at the heart of the second Small Faces album. The magnificent and irresistible Itchycoo Park gave the band their only US Top 20 hit and reasserted the Small Faces’ supremacy as a singles act. 

Coming on the back of the speedily stoned Here Come The Nice (June 1967), and the track reached No. 3 in Britain at the height of the Summer of Love. A long-time favourite for Small Faces connoisseurs, the album rather suffered from being released in the same month as The Beatles’ headline-hogging Sgt. Pepper – hence its latter-day status as a hidden gem.

Regarded as one of the all time great albums of the ‘60s, Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake was by far the most successful of Small Faces albums; enjoying a six-week run at the top of the UK charts during June and July 1968. The concept album mixes heavy rock, psychedelia, soul, and sheer cheekiness into a melange that is truly addictive. Stanley Unwin’s narration, is without question a triumph of boldness, surrealism and musical bravura.

The award-winning sleeve was based on an old Victorian era tobacco tin. This circular, multi-layered construct became such a talking point that it threatened to eclipse the music within. The title, a contemporary twist on the original smoking brand, was the band’s suggestion for a blend of the future, when it was assumed that marijuana would be available legally.  They spent many happy hours leafing through the Ogdens’ archive, searching for the right blend of Victoriana, before Steve came up with the mischievous, censor-dodging ‘Nut Gone’ title.
