Runaway - Small Faces

[nomiclas]

as much better,their own compositions were(legendary)they should have stayed making their own stuff.this comes across as so-so.

May Don Arden rot in hell.

And I agree. History could have been very different if the little lads had listened to the Animals' warnings.

@gropingwithastoker and his bastard daughter with him

[cozener1]

Don Arden was a complete shoite!

[bitmk2]

cool pants

[thegreentreesmusic]

freaking amazing version!

i've loved this version for the last 25 years,

to me it's like a benchmark for a great cover,

love the rolling drums, the singing, the riffs, the chaos,

the bongos, the opening is hilarious!

energy is phenomenol!

[HUMBLPI3]

Another great cover by Steve. Can you imagine this guy in a bar today doing kareoke. I pity the person who would have to follow him in the rotation. He's the best ever!!!

[estille]

aurélien c'est pour toi! ne sois pas frustré s'il n'y a pas le refrain que tu aimes tant!

[rocktenniscat]

Too bad they didn't hit Don over the head with the drum kit - they'd have had a better manager sooner.....

[Khultan]

@rocktenniscat They should've taken The Animals a bit more serious.

[Khultan]

@rocktenniscat  LOL

[currypot1965]

sing it steve

[Stephanjnj]

Judging by the vocal intro, given another day and time Steve might have been an opera singer!

[rocanrolsuicide]

the best song ever

[shelleys9I]

The intro is their then manager Don Arden (father of Sharon Osbourne).

[aadoyle7]

is that elvis at the start? coz he done a version of this.small faces by far-the best!

[locheelad2]

del wrote it gramps

[DiegoSka2ToneMod]

They r the best!

Cheers from Argentina!

[judaschongo]

@DiegoSka2ToneMod Yes they are!

[gramps86]

Del is a pimp

[cowpigs99]

Elvis did a good cover of this song

[minimadalison]

I have never heard this before by the Small Faces - certainly I have by Del Shannon. Steve and the band though never fail to put their mark on a song and to great effect. Steve's voice never, never fails - magic, always magic. Alison

[winstonlaci]

i like this band & i like this song

i remember in (about) '93 i heard (first) this song in a plaza, and i said: uffff this very good! the sound like as a 'small faces' :D

[E4mad]

yeah awesome : D

Oh and by the way, can you upload more different artists from those good old times? : )

[Jackandizzy]

Just reinforces the supremacy of the man himself - Del Shannon.

[norbellini]

agreed, no cover of runaway is better than Dels .

[freakyann1993]

Great song!!!

[norbellini]

i was a fan of the faces but honestly this is shite compared to the original

[mcconkeyMOD]

Well, most of us are still fans of The Faces, sorry I mean The Small Faces!!! Dels is fab and this is just as fab for the Mod.

[Caff68]

Nothing with Marriott's soulful, passionate voice on it could ever be described as "shite".

I actually think this is much more listenable-to than Del Shannon's version, with its horrible early synthesiser thingy solo which makes me cringe. Aaargh!! Much nicer when replaced with feedback guitar and Vox organ!

Fair play to the bloke for writing the song in the first place but apparently, he didn't like it much himself!

I never liked The Faces much myself - but Small Faces...mmmmm ;-)

[Christacan]

Never heard this before..Fantasic stuff..

Thanks Seeker. :-)

[tmobil8]

Very cool, thank you!!

[stOOpid68]

nice post (again!!!) Mr.Seeker! =D
