There Are But Four Small Faces

Released

UK mods The Small Faces turned out this self-penned collection of sunny psychedelia, R’n’B and Hammond organ-soaked mini-rock epics in 1967. The Small Faces were the archetypal mod band and their ‘Tin Soldier’ from this album, featuring additional vocals from soul singer PP Arnold, is perhaps the quintessential mod track, even more than the Who’s ‘My Generation’. ‘There Are But Four Small Faces’ is their most consistent album, focusing on their swinging R’n’B/ psychedelia blend and with the final half of ‘I Feel Much Better’ neatly predicting the seventies hard rock sound.
