SMALL FACES (Decca Records)
Small Faces is the debut album of the Small Faces, released in 1966. It includes the hit singles “Whatcha Gonna Do About It” and “Sha-La-La-La-Lee”. The album was well received by music critics and fans alike and rose to number 3 on the UK album chart remaining at the top for several weeks. (More from Wikipedia)
Small Faces had a rocky start with Decca Records but eventually began working under one of England’s top producers, Andrew Loog Oldham – who had worked with the Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithfull, and others – and signed them as the top act on his new company, Immediate Records. Their first album with that label, Small Faces – a self-titled album like their debut effort with Decca, Small Faces – was an instant hit in mid-1967 and included a song that even made the charts in the U.S., “Itchycoo Park”.
