Fabuloso tema. La letra y sobre todo su música. 40 años no son nada no ?

It's unbelieavable how geat British music has been from 1963 onwards...and this is regarded as a minor band. Christ, some of the great bands that erupted had members that were born & lived within 20 miles of oneanother.
@Fab4Mitchum I'm not sure they're so much underated as under-exposed. The vast majority of people who are exposed to them appreciate their greatness. Even kids today. I've got a 12 year old who makes me play Itchycoo Park on the way to school 4 days out of 5 and I'm happy to oblige. ("why go to learn the words of fools?" She shouts that line.) So they aren't rated poorly; they're just not as widely known as they should be.
It's the organ playing that really makes this song standout - good as the vocals are. It is why the SF's sounded so distinctive on these songs. Mac gets overlooked, a curse of having 2 talented frontmen I suppose...
@anthonythirteen 100% in agreement. Mac's organ is the magic that pulls together most Small Faces tunes and gives them that very distinctive SF sound, despite the fact that they covered so many different genres of popular music. Kenney Jones has an interesting way of describing it; he said Mac joining the band for him was like the band came in from being outside in the cold and got in front of a warm fireplace.
@gropingwithastoker Love this metaphor. In a sense, like The Who, the SF seemed to follow a diferent path from Cream, Hendrix etc. (or even the Beatles) by not having a 'lead guitarist' as such. Townsend & Marriott were great in their style (& Marriott had a hell of a voice) but no 15 min guitar solos. It thereby showcased the group as a whole unit.
@anthonythirteen Look what happened to the Faces with Rod Stewart. They're considered his back up band today. Some credit must be given to Marriott here, because although he's alleged to have been a bit of control freak and we know he was later dismissive of Ronnie's contributions, he never musically "took over", and as such, the band was truly a unit of four equal parts. Maybe this is why he left. He wanted to change direction, but he didn't want to dominate and force it on the others.
@gropingwithastoker Difference was that Rod had been developing a solo career before teaming up with Ronnie & the boys. In many respects, whilst an interesting association, I couldn't see Rod wanting to step back into being just 'the singer'. We all have egos, bigger than we'd like to admit to, which includes Ronnie L. It's just a real shame personally that Ronnie couldn't grit his teeth & cash in on those last, lucrative world tours before splitting.
@anthonythirteen Ronnie was a real musician, not 'just a singer' like Rod. Any musician knows what I'm talking about. Singers who don't play an instrument are a different breed than those who do. Ego is a small word for what a pain in the arse they can be! Watching these videos now, having grown up with Rod's voice and liking it, I would so rather watch Ronnie with his sheer love of music than Rod and all his posturing 'look at me' crap.
Amazing - none of the band were great musicians but put together some of the best 60s pop tunes ever. Stevie Marriott had the best blues voice ever.. If I ever get depressed "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake " does the trick.. I saw an Oz bloke (Tim Rodgers) do a great version on :"song for a baker" (Google this plus Rockwiz) Thanks for keeping the memory alive, the most under rated band of the 60s

iutuber/hiribarrondo. if we could only sing half as good as mr marriot we would all be loaded. however it's for the love of the music of the small faces that counts. we ara mods, ally from hamilton
Whoa seven people do actually dislike this, wow.. ??? I think that this is possibly my favourite SF song. I could stare at Steve as much as I could listen to him and that's saying something lol
My favorite band is the Grateful Dead, I like their older music. But I saw a video a member made on youtube featuring some of the Small Faces music and I love it, great stuff.
@nutsonthe70s No, it really gets no better than this.
Someone please explain to me why the Small Faces aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've been eligible for induction since '91 - the year Stevie died - and haven't been nominated once.
I'm a singer myself and pretty much thought I could do anything vocally. Then I tried to sing this. You don't realise how high it is, but he's still in his normal range. Steve hit's every note cleanly, even the runs during the middle 8 are crystal. It's near impossible to sound so crystal and still have that husk which is sexy. Robert Plant has the same, but I think even he would have problems with this song.
@STColeridge22 Robert Plant, Steve Marriot and Paul Rodgers are my top 3. Phenomenal voices all three of them. Plant has lost his range and God rest Steve's soul but if you have listened to Paul Rodgers lately, the man still has it.
Its amazing that these guys still sound as fresh now as when they started. Steve Ian, Kenney and Mrs Lanes youngest!!! Far better than so much of the crap around today, God bless you fellas, Mods rule, see you in Toppers when you're buying your new shoes, we'll go for a wimpy later!!!
Thanks a million! These guys kicked ass, in the mid '60s, when most bands were playing pop (O.K. nothing wrong with that), but this band together with The Who and a few others, kept ballsy melodic rock alive; they did their own thing, when it wasn't fashionable. Major respect for that kind if courage and artistic vision. This stuff still sends shivers down my spine. Just excellent compositions and pure musical talent.
they didnt just steal the blues, all of their music stolen, blues or not. Led Zeppelin is just a rip off of the bands spirit and the small faces. even stairway to heaven is ripped offed
that is old news , my man . And no , some of Zeppelin's music was some of the most original , inspired rock ever produced . Tell me , who were Zep ripping off when they made the Physical Graffitti album ? Or Presence? They were derivative at first , but they evolved into something quite original
its really not old news, because im pretty sure a bunch of people dont know who steve marriot is much less the band spirit, who im pretty sure you've never heard of. and if you actually like led zeppelin then that tells me that you dont know much about music, they're good for business, thats it. its the 70's- nothin but a good time.even communication breakdown is a rip. they stole their sound and made it their own and sold the shit out of it.whatever.
you'd be hard pressed to find any band from the 60's or 70's who were worth a damn that I have not heard of .Not that Spirit were worth a damn .I have a good idea as to where you get your info .You go on with your crusade to inform the world of those blasted plagiarists. Maybe you can put an end to such atrocities.
@Tecumseh1812 thank you. bobbyp1214's comments were starting to piss me off. one can appreciate Zep, one can appreciate the Small Faces. don't have to choose one over the other. these people seem to forget that Jimmy Page wanted Steve as the Zep vocalist, but, destiny had other plans. and, when Ronnie Lane was sick and not getting any Small Faces money, Jimmy was one of the people who helped pay for his care. Zep and the Small Faces were friends.
@jenzeppelin Right on and thanks for your great comment. If you really know music you never have to chose between bands. Good Is Good. The crap that is passing for music right now will fall by the wayside and be forgotten. Rock on Keep this music and all great music alive by turning new people on to it. Those that experience life get to really live life. Keep on Rocking.
@jenzeppelin Yeah Don Arden ( Sharon Osborne's Father) ripped off the Small Faces and many other acts of that period. The musicians of that time all hung out and appreciated each others art. Now all you hear is rappers using freaking autotune callin each other out as if they ever had even one original thought. Music today is a shell of what it once was.
@Tecumseh1812 Every musician alive is influenced by other musicians. It's the nature of the medium. There are only so many notes to to the scale. A wise friend of mine once stated. It's the not the notes you play that set you apart. It's the silence inbetween the notes that separate you from every one else.
All they did was replace native americans with celts and called it new. Innovative, perhaps but then I wouldn't call anything under the sun completely original. I just don't but into the who occult aspect. I'm partial more to Charlie Daniels in that.
In a decade during which pop music reached an absolute apogee, the Small Faces achieved mod hero status. Great, great stuff, well worth seeking out on vinyl or CD.
The closing minute or so of the later Beatles song You Never Give Me Your Money sound a little bit like certain instrumental parts from this song which was released earlier on in 1969. I think Afterglow (of your love) is a great song and the Small Faces also did arguably my favourite version of If I were a carpenter.
great band, the best pop/soul bands of all time, disagree about the who comment though lexo 30, the who was number 1 ace, I have had the pleasure of seen both bands in the 1960,s, when the who was bad they was pretty good, but when the small faces was bad they was bad, my perfect mod/ pop soul sixties band would have been the who, but with steve marriott singing, daltrey on rhythm guitar and the greatest Sir Pete Townshend on rhythm smash chord lead guitar, plonk lane on ambient bass, the who.
Kenny Jones. He later replaced Keith Moon with the Who when Moon passed away. Not a real surprise considering Townshend and Moon were regulars at Small Faces shows.
There was a long dormant popularity that took ages to reemerge for this group. There was I time I couldn't find very many of their albums except for scratchy second hand ones. It seemed everything was out of print - including Ogden's.
Finally, in the late 80s with the CD revolution, their stuff began to return to the shelves. Now their music is so prominent in the record shops there's just too much to buy!
Long ago, I didn't realise I was one amongst such a large silent army of fans.
Hello - he wasn't in the Faces. He was the founder/co-founder of THE SMALL FACES. When he left the Small Faces to form HUMBLE PIE with Peter Frampton - the remaining Small Faces drafted in Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to form THE FACES. Steve was absolutely brilliant as were the rest of the Small Faces band. Check out all their stuff - Steve's voice can't be beaten even today. I saw them live in 1965!!
There are only two singers for me....Free were pretty good too! Saw Marriott in a pub in the Oval in the 1908s with a crowd in single figures...what a waste!
Priceless classic. Marriott's voice sends chills down my spine everytime I hear this song. Found myself listening to it in the car 5 times in a row the other day, and breaking my vocal chords in the process !!!
Has anyone posted the Ogdens version of this??

All they did was replace native americans with celts and called it new. Innovative, perhaps but then I wouldn't call anything under the sun completely original. I just don't but into the who occult aspect. I'm partial more to Charlie Daniels in that.

In a decade during which pop music reached an absolute apogee, the Small Faces achieved mod hero status. Great, great stuff, well worth seeking out on vinyl or CD.

@iutuber1 I was born in 1965, and grew up with punk's 'year zero' aproach to music, but I love the Small Faces. So much better than The Who.
If I ever get married (which to be fair, is pretty unlikely) this is the song I want playing. Or maybe Tin Soldier...

Listen to Good Times by The Easybeats. Steve was mates with them and stands out in the backing vocals.

The closing minute or so of the later Beatles song You Never Give Me Your Money sound a little bit like certain instrumental parts from this song which was released earlier on in 1969. I think Afterglow (of your love) is a great song and the Small Faces also did arguably my favourite version of If I were a carpenter.

great band, the best pop/soul bands of all time, disagree about the who comment though lexo 30, the who was number 1 ace, I have had the pleasure of seen both bands in the 1960,s, when the who was bad they was pretty good, but when the small faces was bad they was bad, my perfect mod/ pop soul sixties band would have been the who, but with steve marriott singing, daltrey on rhythm guitar and the greatest Sir Pete Townshend on rhythm smash chord lead guitar, plonk lane on ambient bass, the who.

Which of the boys is on drums?
MagDuke 2 years ago
Kenny Jones. He later replaced Keith Moon with the Who when Moon passed away. Not a real surprise considering Townshend and Moon were regulars at Small Faces shows.
karlforston 2 years ago
Oh, I know who Kenny is. I was wondering which of the two would be chosen for the super-bamd.
MagDuke 2 years ago
With all due respect to Mr Jones my money would be on Keith Moon or John Bonham.
karlforston 2 years ago
Haha, could you imagine Bonzo with that lot? Hahaha. He'd be lost. He'd need Jonesy along. Very forceful rythm section.

Daltry forced Kenny Jones out of the Who

Yes exact Replica & Mix-just sharper definition, the way a remaster should be.

There was a long dormant popularity that took ages to reemerge for this group. There was I time I couldn't find very many of their albums except for scratchy second hand ones. It seemed everything was out of print - including Ogden's.
Finally, in the late 80s with the CD revolution, their stuff began to return to the shelves. Now their music is so prominent in the record shops there's just too much to buy!
Long ago, I didn't realise I was one amongst such a large silent army of fans.

Hello - he wasn't in the Faces. He was the founder/co-founder of THE SMALL FACES. When he left the Small Faces to form HUMBLE PIE with Peter Frampton - the remaining Small Faces drafted in Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to form THE FACES. Steve was absolutely brilliant as were the rest of the Small Faces band. Check out all their stuff - Steve's voice can't be beaten even today. I saw them live in 1965!!

Priceless classic. Marriott's voice sends chills down my spine everytime I hear this song. Found myself listening to it in the car 5 times in a row the other day, and breaking my vocal chords in the process !!!
