Small Faces
From The Beginning
On May 7th 2012, Universal Music Catalogue is set to release deluxe editions of the four albums released by The Small Faces during their short but highly creative and eventful lifetime between 1965 and 1969.
The albums in question: SMALL FACES, Decca, May 1966; FROM THE BEGINNING, Decca, June 1967; SMALL FACES, Immediate, June 1967 and OGDENS’ NUT GONE FLAKE, Immediate, May 1968 are each released as deluxe two-disc editions with the notable exception of OGDENS’ which has now been expanded to three discs.
Kenney Jones and Ian “Mac†McLagan have overseen and approved these new, definitive editions, including the re-mastering and artwork. All related non-album singles and alternate versions of the album session recordings, many of which are previously unreleased or released for the first time on CD, have also been added. In the case of OGDENS’, there are separate discs for the mono and stereo formats and a third disc of previously unreleased material – early session versions, alternate USA mixes, instrumentals and the previously unreleased backing track “Kamikhaziâ€.
Complete with rare photos and memorabilia, each album package includes liner notes by Mark Paytress featuring entertaining and forthright interviews with the surviving members of the Small Faces, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones.
