Marriott’s departure from Small Faces in 1968, frustrated at the band’s direction, left a massive hole, which the remaining members promptly plugged with guitarist Ron Wood and another ex-employee of the Jeff Beck Group, Rod Stewart, probably the only vocalist at that time capable of filling Marriott’s shoes (give or take Steve Winwood and Alex Chilton). Housed in a deluxe, lift-off-lid box, complete with a 72-page booklet featuring new liner notes and period press cuttings and photographs, all 91 tracks have been remastered “under the close supervision” of sole survivor Kenney Jones. It’s a half-century since Small Faces stormed their way to early victory with Whatcha Gonna Do About It, and to celebrate there’s a five-CD set, with all the trimmings and then some.

They tell the tale of six musicians whose contributions to an already thriving period are a matter of record: the mod band whose evolution from high-octane R&B to Tin Pan Alley-tinged psychedelia earned them a position in the mid-60s superleague, just below The Beatles/Rolling Stones/Who/Kinks and above The Animals/Yardbirds/Moody Blues/Zombies the blokey rockers offering an earth(l)y version of Led Zeppelin’s demonic raunch, with a boozy, bluesy swagger matched only by the Stones and the thatch-haired rasper whose ragtag jumbles of folk, rock, soul and blues propelled him to a 70s solo superstardom rivalled only by Elton and Bowie.
