Small Faces

Small Faces

 the best English band never to hit it big in America. Outside Europe, all anybody remembers them for is their sole hit, "Itchycoo Park," * which was hardly representative of their psychedelic sound, much less their full musical range -- but in England, Small Faces were one of the most extraordinary and successful bands of the mid-'60s, serious competitors to the Who and potential rivals to the Rolling Stones. (AllMusic)

Here at The Little House of Concrete, however, Tin Soldier is rated as one of the breatest achievemennts of "blue-eyed soul". Operating in a variety of genres, they deserve onourable mentions for Afterglow of your LoveLazy Sunday, Up The Wooden Hills To Bedfordshire, all of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and the list doesn't stop there... At the very least, Significant, and with Marriott in full voice on Tin Soldier and Afterglow, Iconic.  File under: Pocket-sized Mods
