Great song. Nothing beats that 60's sound.

[Alison Hammill]

One of my favourite Small Faces songs (but difficult to choose as so many of their songs are good - especially Tin Soldier). I listen to them still, now on my iPod shuffle and blast the sound out of my 1972 Mini - heaven!! I have the single myself, very scratched now. Thanks for the posting. Alison

Haha yea I hear that. I think with the Byrds it was a homage but in this case with Small Faces it was probably just a coincidence. I often write melodies that I think are so great until I later realize its already been written. (then I call it a homage) haha

[DoctorBohr]

Yeah, kinda. And if you listen to the solo on the Byrds' She Dont Care About Time you'll hear Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Maybe it's song writers' block or maybe it's a homage.

Don't hate me for this but does anybody else hear "Gloria in Excelsis Deo"?

[Nik Reid]

Classic.

[Kai Honkanen]

[Gazolba]

No matter what the Small Faces thought of it, this is one of the best songs they ever wrote. Love the tune too. If you want rubbish, what about Sha La La La Lee ???

Yeah I heard that this was the demo version, they were supposed to rerecord it but Don Arden released it anyway as he wanted another hit after All or Nothing.

This is what Steve Marriott said in 1967 "We recorded rubbish like My Mind's Eye because we knew it was commercial and it would sell"
