Small Faces were an English British Beat band formed in 1965 by Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, 
Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston (who was soon replaced by Ian McLagan).
Heavily influenced by American rhythm and blues, they set the style for mod rock 'n' roll
​and later evolved into a ​psychedelic band before disbanding in 1969.

​Despite the fact that they were only together four years, Small Faces' musical output from
​the mid to late 1960's remains notable and still much loved British Beat and psychedelic music of that era. 
Allmusic refers to Small Faces as "the best English band never to make it big in America".

1967  Small Faces - Small Faces​ (second album)
Small Faces is the eponymous second studio album by the Small Faces, released in 1967.
The album was their first for Immediate Records after leaving Decca.
It peaked at number 12 in the UK Album Chart.[1] 

In America, the album was issued with an alternative track order as There Are But Four Small Faces. 
The band's debut album, released on Decca in 1966, is also entitled Small Faces.


The album is considered to be the artistic breakthrough for the group's songwriting and compositions,
as well as their transition from a mod-influenced band to a psychedelic studio group, which they became known for during their final months. It was recorded over a period of nine months, during the band's tenure
​on both Decca and Immediate Records, at two separate studios.[2]

It is their first LP to contain solely original compositions.
Thirteen of the album's fourteen tracks were either written or co-written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane

AllMusic Review by Bruce Eder
"In Memoriam was a rather hastily conceived ten-song LP issued by Immediate Records in the wake of the group's breakup in early 1969 -- slapped together from a quintet of live tracks recorded at Newcastle Town Hall and five odd single B-sides and cuts from what would have been the group's next album. Actually, it wasn't a bad collection, as far as any ten songs could go, and side one was worth its weight in gold, capturing the band's rather awesome live sound for the first time -- hearing Steve Marriott (maybe England's second-greatest soul shouter after Chris Farlowe) with a decent repertoire with almost any competent accompaniment on-stage was a profound experience, and this band was his best, and those five sides (which have been reissued many times since) were taped on a particularly good night. The studio tracks on side two were almost inevitably less impressive, but even here, "Call It Something Nice" was an interesting mod-blues hybrid, "Red Balloon" a pleasantly spaced-out acoustic ballad, and "Wide Eyed Girl on the Wall" a single that should have been -- it only needed words. Meanwhile, "The Autumn Stone" was a strange psychedelic love song, languidly romantic with a stripped-down texture recalling Syd Barrett's solo work. All in all, this wasn't the worst farewell release the Small Faces could have had, but apparently they objected sufficiently so that Immediate quickly deleted this album and folded its contents into the double LP The Autumn Stone."
