The Small Faces - Beat Instrumentals (1969)

Right from their very first releases, The Small Faces always included one or two great r'n'b instrumentals on their records, and they weren't just filler, but really sounded like the band were having a great time recording them. I've collected them all together for this album, and added in a few backing tracks which actually sound like completed instrumental recordings, as well as a couple of run-throughs which the band never got around to adding lyrics to at a later date. The cover is based on the December 1966 issue of 'Beat Instrumental' magazine.

  1. As a Small Faces fan , especially of the original band. Thank You! I haven't listened to it yet but, I believe you about the energy they always put into their music. Look on You tube at early videos of them and they are giving it all they've got. Thanks again.
