Outstanding! Steve Marriott definitely had one of the greatest voices and presences ever. I must admit I have not delved into the Small Faces oeuvre as much as I probably should--I got turned off a bit by some of the "twee dandy-ish" stuff on "Ogdens" (the only album I ever bought), and consequently I've missed out on their tougher sounding material (such as this song). Thanks for reminding me that this is another band I need to re-visit/re-discover.
Jack Hayden is a HUGE fan of Ogden and I have never really got into it. Their earlier hard pounding Mod stuff is just silly great. I think all can agree on that. Their is a double CD of their Decca stuff that is a must have.
Yeah, I definitely think I started with the wrong album, which impaired my ability to investigate further. (Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if I liked Ogdens now. It didn't work for me 20 years ago, but my tastes have changed quite a bit since then.)
