1) Small Faces - Small Faces (2CD) (1966)  Small Faces is the debut album of the Small Faces, released in 1966. It includes the hit singles "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" and "Sha-La-La-La-Lee". The album rose to number three in the UK album chart remaining at the top for several weeks. The album was recorded at the IBC Studios, Portland Place, London in February 1966. Glyn Johns was the studio engineer. Jimmy Winston was asked to leave after the band's second single "I've Got Mine" released on 5 November 1965 failed to make the charts. He still appears on many tracks on this album, including joint writing contributions to "It's Too Late" and providing keyboards and vocals on various tracks. Winston's replacement Ian McLagan appears on the album cover.
2) Small Faces - From The Beginning (2CD) (1967) From the Beginning was originally released in 1967 on Decca and was their last album for the label, it contained Small Faces anthems such as Sha-La-La-Lee (co-writen by Kenny Lynch) and Whatcha Gonna Do About It. The album was released after the band left for Immediate and contains all the bands hit records for the label.
3) Small Faces - Small Faces (1968) (2CD) Small Faces, the second studio album by the English rhythm and blues band Small Faces released via Immediate Records in June 1967. It peaked at number 12 in the UK Album Chart and was their first LP for Immediate in 1967. This was their first record for Andrew Loog Oldhams label and contained tracks such as All Our Yesterdays and Green Circles.
4) Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (3CD) The release of their classic psychedelic influenced album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake on 24 May 1968. It is widely regarded as a classic album, and featured an innovative round cover, the first of its kind, designed to resemble an antique tobacco tin. It stayed No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart for six weeks. The two-act concept album consisted of six original songs on side one and a whimsical psychedelic fairy tale on side two relating the adventures of "Happiness Stan" and his need to find out where the moon went when it waned. It was narrated by Stanley Unwin, after original plans to have Spike Milligan narrate the album were dashed when he turned them down. Critics raved, and the album sold well, but the band were confronted by the practical problem that they had created a studio masterpiece which was virtually impossible to recreate on the road. Ogdens' was performed as a whole just once, and memorably, live in the studio on the BBC television programme Colour Me Pop.
