SMALL FACES "from the beginning" cd, 1967
career stats:
studio albums...........6
singles....................14
ep's........................14
not really a studio album but a collection of songs/singles released over the previous two years...
obviously being a compilation its pretty good, only a couple of complaints from me
a cover of Del Shannon's "runaway"...seriously, it doesn't work!
and an instrumental also...the Who also dabbled with the odd instrumental(batman theme + the ox, come to mind immediately)
theres just no need for these rockers to pursue that line of work...but hey, plenty of rock bands followed over the decades with
instrumentals, so I guess it started right here with foreward thinking Steve Marriott and Townshend...
all up though, these guys are my favourite 1960s UK band so it was good to listen to them once again after all this time!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: runaway
best track: all or nothing
