THE SMALL FACES "the small faces" cd, 1966
career stats:
studio albums........6
singles.................14
ep's.....................12
this album................#3 UK
singles:
"sha la la la lee"......................#3 UK
"whatcha gonna do about it"....#14 UK
the debut set from Messers' Marriott, Lane, McLagan and Jones...
you guys already know that I think these guys were the greatest band to emerge from the UK in the 1960s, right?!
anyway,
debut set...
lots of rough and ragged blues rock on here and a couple of ballads...
not unusual for a band of that period to include covers(took the Beatles three albums to write all their own material!)
this one contains a cover of Sam Cooke's "shake"...I hate that one, best version is by Otis Redding IMO...
the rest are original songs..
a good solid collection of songs from the era of the original Britpop scene...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

best track: sha la la la lee
