Pete Townshend had been initially contacted by Ronnie Lane 
to produce his next album. Instead, the project turned into
​a full-blown collaboration between the pair. 
Rough Mix features songs written by both blokes in a vein less like
that of the Who or Faces, but instead close to the British folk rock vogue
​of the early 1970s among various English bands.

On September 15, 1966 the Small Faces' single "All Or Nothing"
​peaks at #1 on the UK Singles Chart!
Small Faces - All Or Nothing Single 1966 -US2

​Written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, "All Or Nothing", according to Marriott's mother Kay Marriott, is about Steve's split with ex-fiancée Sue Oliver, though first wife Jenny Rylance states that Marriott told her he wrote the song for her as a result of her split with Rod Stewart. Both statements are said to be correct.
Little known fact: "All Or Nothing" shared the #1 spot that week with
The Beatles' single "Yellow Submarine"!
Watch three Small Faces' performances of "All Or Nothing" here:
