​​Small Faces 1966 Single ~ "My Mind's Eye"
"My Mind's Eye" was originally intended to be an album track by the band
but was released as a single without their knowledge or consent whilst touring in the north of Eng
land. 
Don Arden had been eager for the group to release a song before Christmas and released an unfinished, rough demo copy in his possession. The single was a hit, reaching number 4 on the UK singles chart,
but in terms of relations between Arden and Small Faces, it was to signal the end
​of the band's relationship with both Arden and Decca.

Marriott admitted using part of the popular Christmas song "Gloria in Excelsis Deo"
​as inspiration for the melody to the chorus of "My Mind's Eye".[2]

There were 2 versions of "My Mind's Eye" released as a single.
​One version following at the end of the chorus had the vocal:
​In My Mind's Eye, the other version omitted this vocal.
