Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally assembled exclusively for the American market, 'There Are But Four Small Faces' acts as an alternative, hits-laden introduction to the British mod icons' psychedelic era. The collection heavily reworks their contemporaneous UK releases, pulling together massive singles like 'Itchycoo Park' and 'Tin Soldier' alongside album cuts. Driven by Steve Marriott's soulful, rasping vocals, it perfectly encapsulates their transition from gritty R&B into whimsically arranged studio pop.
