| 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful  A lost classic . . . ., By beatparty (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: From the Beginning (Audio CD) Wow - one of the best records I've heard in my life. If you like early Who, Kinks or Creation records you're gonna love this. Totally different from their later (and more pop oriented) Immediate recordings, this record is hard mod rock at its best, all in glorious mono. The bonus tracks offer even tougher versions of Hey Girl, My Mind's Eye and Take This Hurt Off Me. Runaway is worth the price of admission alone and the cover of You've Really Got A Hold On Me is simply awesome. How this isn't as known as The Stone's Aftermath and the Who's My Generation is totally beyond me. Do yourself a favor and grab this now! 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Fascinating early Faces, By This review is from: From the Beginning (Audio CD) From The Beginning was released in 1967 as a spoiler by Decca, the Small Faces' old label, to coincide with the release of their new album on the Immediate label entitled Small Faces (confusingly, the only album they made for Decca was also self-titled).

These and are now the chief attraction of this CD re-issue. The Small Faces had one line-up change while they were with Decca, when in October 1965 Jimmy Winston left and was replaced on keyboards by Ian McLagan. Although the Decca album Small Faces depicted Ian McLagan on the cover...

The Small Faces were at their best as a noisy somewhat experimental mod soul band. And this c.d. showcases this side to great effect. Do not hesitate to buy. If you like the Who and the Pretty Things more aggressive stuff this rates right up there with those sides. |
