The Small Faces - E too D

[james00021]

A truly gr8 song!

[Khultan]

 Is it really 'E too D' or 'E to D'?

[trichoone]

@Khultan it really is E too D

[Khultan]

@trichoone  Thank ye kindly, much obliged : )

[Khultan]

Hallelujah!!!!! Sweet!!! : )

[ozgribbo]

Great. If you want to hear a good tribute (with a bit of Pete Townsend thrown in) try Googling Song for a baker Rockwiz Tim Rogers. Plus, I tried Lambrettas and Vespas of the time and they bot were equally good at picking up impressionable and pretty rubbish at going round corners, stopping or anything we expect modern transport to do. I still love them!

[dncviorel]

My legs start shaking instantly when I press the play button for this song.

[maceonenyc]

@KIDAmnesiacBends  Good Point

[onebentleyboy]

F*****g marvelous!

Being picky about the scooter pictures-- nobody wore a helmet then and NOBODY would have mounted the spare wheel inside like that.

But you know that--I am just being nostalgic

[trichoone]

@onebentleyboy , yeah just have to use the shots i can find to show the vid , thanks for watching .

[TWOCV602]

@onebentleyboy Yes you are being nostagic...and why not. Steve was the man back in the MOD days. No helmets, leaning back on the scooters, it's a wonder we are still here. Those were the days..Still miss yer Steve.

[onebentleyboy]

Love it!

The scooter shots are a bit off-nobody wore a helmet and NOBODY would ride a scooter with the spare wheel mounted inside like that. But you know that-I just miss it that's all

[MODTRASH]

Iv'e seen a great live version of this somewhere.

[SuperLmcc]

brilliant beat from the best mods ever

[tomhits]

Thx trichoone for sharing another one for us 60ies mods!!!!:) No better days ever!

[8for8]

Great ! Patterns, now coming up ?

[babyshambler]

Kenny ripping it up. I love it.

[soulgirl666]

I remember hearing the small faces when i was 14, i fell in love with their music and am still a fan 26 years later!

[Kelly14UK]

NO-ONE can match this.

[trichoone]

its great and it takes me right back to teenage years .

[kbcmighty]

rocks , cutting edge stuff in its day .

[reksub10]

proper italian scooters we are the mods we are the mods we are the mods we are the mods what a band

[joelba1]

Thanks for posting! This song is genius, hard edged and psychedelic before most bands had gone in that direction. I strongly recommend the BBC Sessions version too.. sublime

[ariesvids]

amazing...this is arguably the first heavy metal cut ever recorded. Album came out in May '66.

[loempiavreter]

You've never heard of Freakbeat, huh? Wyldest Sound of the 60s... made almost exclusively in 1966.

[misterobvious]

"freakbeat" didn't exist until some record collectors invented the term in the 80s.

[loempiavreter]

Rock 'n Roll never didn't excisted until some white DJ started calling Rythm'n Blues records that on his show.

[misterobvious]

the point IS...that nobody (yes, NOBODY) ever used that term in the 60s, because it didn't exist until the 80s. Nobody in the 60s ever played "freakbeat". It doesn't mean anything. It means whatever you want it to mean.

[loempiavreter]

Yeah of course nobody used it back then, They all called it R&B when the sound was clearly evolving beyond that. Nobody called Reggae of '68-'71 "Early Reggae" or "Skinhead Reggae" but now everybody does to distinguish it from the later roots period.

[misterobvious]

"but now everybody does ..."

uh, no, not everybody.

I collected these style of records before some people tried to reinvent the wheel and do a little historical revisionism by calling them "freakbeat".

I believe it was Rubble 13 that started it, followed by the English Freakbeat series.

"freakbeat" only exists as a separate genre if you believe that it does. I don't believe that it does.

I refuse to use these silly names made up long long after the fact.

[loempiavreter]

Then Garage Rock would also become obsolete, since that genre was also made up by music journalists in the early 70s to describe with imo very vague definations what small american bands of teenagers where doing with British invasion while still clinging a bit to american sounds of earlier.

[loempiavreter]

...and with "now everybody does" was pointed at "Early Reggae" & "Skinhead Reggae" that caught on pretty quickly I don't even know when people started calling Reggae of '68-'71 that, back in the day people just called it Reggae, Reggay or Blue Beat (which was wat the british also named Ska, and they kept for all Jamaican genre onwards, like Rocksteady).

I agree that Freakbeat hasn't caught on like the above did, but ask yourself this does this song still sounds like the older British R&B tunes?

[misterobvious]

loempiavreter said: "I agree that Freakbeat hasn't caught on like the above did, but ask yourself this does this song still sounds like the older British R&B tunes?"

I have just decided to call it "Freedom Rock", therefore by the power invested in me by nobody it is so....

Henceforth "freakbeat" (formerly known as "British Beat" or "British Invasion" or British R&B" (ha!) ) will now bw called "Freedom Rock".

and it is done...

[misterobvious]

now you get it...

[Khultan]

@misterobvious  That's very interesting.

[malcolmyoungposer]

the small faces...one of the greatest bands ever and probably the most copied

[brokenskates]

Love this...and the Vespas! My brother collects them like beanie babies! And Stellas.

Great combo, Small Faces Tune and Vespas..doesn't get any better than that.

[madspeas]

can anyone determine if this was written before or after "I can see for miles" by you know Who...

[trichoone]

Yes it was before

[madspeas]

Thanks

I can't believe Small Faces weren't more successful than they were (somebody suggested bad management), but given the way things generally are, I guess it isn't a surprise that such beautifully viceral music never gets as much recognition as it should.

This song fries my mind, it's unpredictable, angry, dangerous and ultimately satisfying. I'm getting older, I know, but I wish younger groups of today would take as many chances as their forunners did.

[craig1873craig]

a lot of people think of the small faces and think of sha la la la lee and itchycoo park the small faces where more than than songs like e to d come on children you need loving showed how much energy the small faces could produce sadly missed steve marriot rip

[gorblimey61]

She had the nerve to tell me that my Vespa was double parked!

[timnlol]

Great track from their first album. Listen to the drums. Very Keith Moon inspired. The faces and the Who led the way. Without them there would be no punk rock

[trichoone]

Great Drumming on this track thats for sure .

[gorblimey61]

NE1 gotta clip of "You Need Lovin'"?

[timnlol]

You mean Whole Lotta Love surely lol. That Page/Plant original. Nothings what it seems eh?
