Small Faces

Small Faces were a British rock group from the 1960s. The members were Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones and Jimmy Winston. Their debut single, "What'cha Gonna Do About It", written by Ian Samwell, was released in 1965 and was a minor hit in their home country. Their next single, "I've Got Mine", failed to chart, and Winston left the band. Ian McLagan took his place, and they had a big hit in England with the song "Sha-La-La-La-Lee".


All or Nothing

The peak of their popularity was in August 1966 when "All Or Nothing" reached the top of the UK charts, subsequently becoming their only No. 1 hit. Their first album was "Small Faces", and proved to be very successful. After moving to the Immediate Records label of Rolling Stones' producer Andrew 'Loog' Oldham, the song they are still known for was released: "Itchycoo Park".


Itschycoo Park
In 1968 their fourth album, Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, was released, one side of which was based on a fairy tale. The album received very good reviews and reached first place in England. The album also included the previously successful hit single "Lazy Sunday". The sentence "Lazy Sunday afternoon... I've got no mind to worry, close my eyes and drift away...." gives an image of the flower power period 

 

Lazy Sunday
When Marriot suddenly left the band in 1969 and formed Humble Pie, the rest of the members attempted to continue Small Faces, recruiting Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Shortly afterwards they changed their name to The Faces.

Small Faces - Song Of A Baker

 Small Faces were an English rock band from London, founded in 1965. The group originally consisted of Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston, with Ian McLagan replacing Winston as the band's keyboardist in 1966. The band was one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s, recording hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", and "Tin Soldier", as well as their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. They evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic bands until 1969.^[4][5]

 Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album, and only concept album by the English rock band Small Faces. Released on 24 May 1968, the LP peaked at number one on the UK Album Charts on 29 June, where it remained for a total of six weeks. It ultimately became the group's final studio album during their original incarnation (and the last album to contain solely new material until the release of reunion album Playmates in 1977). The album title and distinctive packaging design was a parody of Ogden's Nut-brown Flake, a brand of tinned loose tobacco that was produced in Liverpool from 1899 onwards by Thomas Ogden.
