SMALL FACES
There are but Three (Third Eye)
Reviewed by Jason

In case you were raised in a sound-proof garage, The Small Faces were one of the seminal British pop bands from the 1960's, and only got as big as their sole American hit Itchykoo Park. Then Steve Marriott (lead singer and guitarist) quit, they hired Rod Stewart, and after another record took 'Small' off their name, and became The Faces. A nice collection, strictly for the die-hard fan, like me, of twenty songs (a few get re-done though) one of the best groups ever did for BBC's Colour Me Pop, Twice In a Fortnight, Top of The Pops, and Top Gear, as well a few on a German television show called Beat, Beat, Beat. Not always the best sound quality, but kept a smile on my face long after I stumbled across it for three bucks the other day.
