The Small Faces were seen by music fans as East London's answer to The Who (from West London) - groups who were initially noted as much for their mod clothing as the music they played.

They were formed in 1965 and rapidly became a major attraction playing raw R&B inspired music. The first single, "Watcha Gonna Do About It?" was released just six weeks after the formation of the band. In November '65 McLagen replaced original organist Jimmy Winston.

Presenting themselves as unpretentious, boisterous cockneys, The Small Faces put out some great singles during their career, for a chart-topping band they made some remarkably bold musical experiments. Their reluctance to merely churn out safe commercial singles at regular intervals meant that some of their records failed to take the charts by storm, though they seemed to be able, unlike so many other groups, to bounce back into favour unscathed.

At their best they not only had a raw power - Marriott's voice could be shattering - but a sense of fun and pure joy that has rarely been surpassed.

Eventually, feeling frustrated that they were not being taken seriously as an albums band, Marriott left in February 1969. He was replaced by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood and the band re-launched themselves as The Faces.
