The Small Faces

While I was looking through the videos that make up my last two posts on The Faces and Ronnie Lane, I stumbled across these two videos. Steve Marriott had left The Small Faces in 1969 to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. The remaining Small Faces carried on with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood first as The Small Faces...then just The Faces.

Well, after The Faces and Humble Pie both went belly up circa 1975-1976, The Small Faces reunited for two albums. However, Ronnie Lane left early in the recording of the first reunion album (co-writing one song), replaced by Rick Wills (formerly of Frampton's Camel).

Apparently what sparked the reunion was the boys getting together to mime to a couple of old Small Faces hits...and that's what you have here. A mid-70's Small Faces with lane) miming to "Lazy Sunday" and "Itchycoo Park".

For good measure, I'm throwing up a promo clip of "All or Nothing". Check out that hair...now you know where Paul Weller got his Jam era hairstyle!
