SMALL FACES (Immediate Records)
Small Faces is the second studio album by the English band Small Faces released via Immediate Records in June 1967. It peaked at number 12 in the UK Album Chart and was their first LP for Immediate in 1967. In America, the album was issued with an alternative track order as There Are But Four Small Faces. Confusingly, the band’s debut album, released on Decca in 1966, is also entitled Small Faces. (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”.
