Extract from a Small Faces interview in the NME dated 20th May 1966 ...
Steve ..." We refused to do "Lucky Stars" because although we had a best selling LP out and a single in the charts, they refused to let us do more than one number and they wanted us to open the show, which was being topped by Dee Dee Warwick." 'Plonk' Lane took over ..." We'd been opening everything, including 'Five O'Clock Club,' he said plaintively, "They were beginning to call us 'The Small Openers' I mean, own up - we had a number in the top ten.
