- Mad John. Small Faces - Mad John. Not released as a single in the UK, 'Mad John' was maybe the ultimate example of the madness and wonder of the Small Faces Odgens' Nut Gone Flake concept LP.
- The Universal. SMALL FACES - The Universal (Colour Promo Clip) Written by Steve Marriott, the basic track was recorded in his Beehive Cottage home in Essex, complete with the background noise you can hear on the finished recording.
- Afterglow Of Your Love. Afterglow (Of Your Love) Released as the band were splitting by manager Andrew Loog Oldham without the group's permission, 'Afterglow' had appeared in a slightly slower mix on the previous year's Odgens' Nut Gone Flake album.
- I Can’t Make It. Small Faces - I can't make it (1967) 'I Can't Make It' had plenty going against it when it was released in March 1967, just a couple of months after it was recorded.

- 'All Or Nothing' Single (1966) Quite possibly the definitive Small Faces track, hence its sitting at the top of our list of the Top 10 Small Faces Songs.
- 'Tin Soldier' Single (1967) With its almost ominous intro, the song quickly picks up steam to become a top-shelf highly charged rocker and on of the band's greatest performances.
- 'My Minds Eye' Single (1966) Written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, 'My Minds Eye' was the Small Faces sixth single and fourth Top Ten in just over a year.
- 'Itchycoo Park' From: 'There Are But Four Small Faces' (1967) Their sole U.S. hit record - No. 4 on our list of the Top 10 Small Faces Songs - is a bouncing little ditty, perfect for AM radio circa 1967.

It’s fitting that we open our top 10 Small Faces songs list with the band’s first single. The great Small Faces song “Whatcha Gonna Do About It,” immediately hit the UK charts and turned the band into a success overnight. It was written by vocalist Steve Marriott and bass player Ronnie Lane. Additional input on the song came from professional songw...
Their second single,“I’ve Got Mine,” was the first song written by Marriott and Lane without outside help from professional songwriters. It was released in 1965. “I’ve Got Mine,”was less pop oriented than the previous single and featured a slow, dark, blues influenced rhythm and heavy, stark rock and roll guitar. While it didn’t make the charts at ...
This mod and psychedelic influenced rhythm and blues song was written by Lane and Marriott in 1967. The lyrics deal explicitly with drug use and the mod subculture. They describe taking speed and waiting for a drug dealer, which were taboo topics at the time. The only contemporary band writing about such bold material was New York’s Velvet Undergro...
Recorded by the band in 1968 but not released until after Marriott had left the Small Faces. It wasn’t authorized by the band but was released by the record company anyway. It fared poorly compared to their other songs, reaching number 37 of the top 40. “Afterglow (Of Your Love)”is a psychedelic pop power ballad. The album version featured an acous...
The third single by The Small Faces was written by Lane and Marriott with input from professional songwriters Mort Shuman and Kenny Lynch and released in 1966. It was issued in the band’s debut album entitled Small Faces. Unlike their previous effort, “I’ve Got Mine,”this song is far more catchy, upbeat and pop oriented, with the title serving as t...
This song came out during the summer of 1968. Marriott recorded the majority of his vocals and acoustic guitar parts outside at home so background noises such as dogs and birds are audible. Previously this would have been unthinkable in the record industry. It has a folky, somewhat Dylanesque feel to it reminiscent of late 60’s Pink Floyd and Syd B...
Singer Steve Marriott originally wrote this song for his wife in 1967. It’s about getting inside somebody’s mind in order to understand their thought process though it was widely misinterpreted to be sexual in nature at the time. It featured an interesting fusion of R&B and The Small Faces emerging psychedelic sound. “Tin Soldier”reached number nin...
Another Marriott and Lane composition, “All or Nothing,” was released in 1966. It features a more guitar heavy mod rock style rather than the psychedelic sound typical of The Small Faces later singles. It went to number one in the UK and cemented their reputation as a solid band capable of producing multiple hit songs. The lyrics were written by Ma...
This song was the Small Faces biggest hit and arguably the one that propelled them to international stardom. It was released in 1967 during the Summer of Love. Due to its catchy mix of rock, pop and psychedelic music “Itchycoo Park,”proved popular with the growing hippie movement and the song reached number three on the UK charts. It was the first ...
The cheerful tune “Lazy Sunday,” was released in 1968 and appeared on the early concept album Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake. It was written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. It features Marriott on lead vocals singing in a heavy cockney accent. The music is reminiscent of London Music Halls but with a definite psychedelic pop flavor. Contrary to the song...
- Tin Soldier (The Autumn Stone, 1969) "Tin Soldier taking the top spot is an absolute no brainer for me. My dad’s always said that this is one of, if not the greatest song ever written, and I couldn’t agree more.
- Afterglow (Of Your Love) (Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, 1968) "The chorus on this song is so uplifting, Marriott’s voice and McLagen’s organ lift it so much – a masterpiece of a love song!"
- Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, 1968) "I've always thought that instrumentals are a bit of an art form for rock'n'roll bands – it’s easy to come across as self indulgent, but the way this track lifts with the strings paired with Lane’s chugging bass line is a masterclass in how to write an instrumental."
- The Universal (single, 1968) "I’ve always loved how it was recorded in Marriott’s back garden and the dog barking in the background comes in at the perfect point.
Following the breakup of both the Faces and Humble Pie in 1975, the classic line-up of the Small Faces re-formed (consisting of Marriott, Lane, McLagan and Jones) after a re-release of "Itchycoo Park" became a top-ten hit.
