Faces...All Shapes And Sizes - Pete Frame Rock Family Tree Poster
​- TRANSCRIBED
~​Text separated into additional sections/paragraphs (with minimal editing) for easier reading
​~annotated, for history, fans and research

(Beginning Paragraph)
Peter Frampton sat in on a Small Faces gig 19th October 1968 and got on well enough with Steve Marriott to precipitate this entire bowl of spaghetti.
Confirmed:
​October 19, 1968 - Small Faces at Bubble Club, Brentwood, England
(Peter Frampton sat in with the band)
Set List:
1. "Rollin' Over"
​2. "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am"

https://www.ronnielane.com/small-faces-concert-tour-dates-with-ronnie-lane-master-page.html​
Marriott had been a reluctant child actor who left home at 14 to escape, and "lived in a mud hut in Finsbury Park owned by this Pakistani. Anyway, I couldn't act - I could only be myself... so all I got was cockney-kid parts".
After recording one single for Decca, "Give Her My Regards"/"Imaginary Love" (F11619), in March 1963, he was "discovered" by Andrew Loog Oldham - with whom he cut two singles - neither released.
https://www.discogs.com/master/907139-Steve-Marriott-Give-Her-My-Regards
Peter Frampton gigged through late 1964/early 1965 with Steve Marriott and the Moments but, unable to scratch a living, took a job washing up at Lyons Corner House - with Ronnie Lane. "I couldn't stick it, my hands went brown with all the bleach they used - so I bottled out after a day... then we started The Small Faces".
~The above story contradicts that Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott first met at a music/instrument shop?

SMALL FACES #1 July 1965 to March 1969

​-​Only two of 14 Small Faces singles failed to make the top 40
-Marriott: "We were a very successful pop group: on record, we always had a manager and producer who wanted hits - so they were usually gimmicky and contrived. On stage we were raw rockers."

(usually characterized by drunkenness and lunacy)

-the Passing Show proved too ambitious a project: "I couldn't hold it up after 8 weeks because I didn't have any more money.....it was as simple as that," said Ronnie, "We were flogging everything in the end - just to buy enough diesel to move the show.....and I always seemed to be arguing with fire officers and local authorities over regulations they claimed I was infringing.
