I finally had a realization. After all these years I'd be scratching me head trying to figure out who was my favourite band. The Kinks or the Who. Neither. It was the Small Faces all along.
Man! This a great recording! I really dig their groove and hope others appreciate just how ahead of their time they were! I will always be a SMALL FACES fan. I am so glad they met...it warms my heart to listen to them always! I like to respectfully think MOD meant Marriot On Drugs...in a good way. 😂 I like it! Burn one and get down Steve. All good from this blokes's viewpoint! Love that man...he know how to keep it NICE!!!😊
It rocks like no other their sound was their own. Hopefully one day they will be recognized for their music , that is on par if not better than any of their contemporaries Beatles , Stones (Fred N Barnie) the who ,and they were kids
Can't believe this band never went to America. They would have cleaned up! Considering some of the British acts who did well in USA like Dave Clarke Five and Herman's Hermits. Small Faces were in another league compared to them! Shocking management.
Shocking wasn't it, they would have absolutely smashed it! Never cared for the Dave Clark 5 but hey they did well in the States so fair play. Such a travesty on part of the Small Faces management.

Powerpop before the beginning of time. Sounds like it was freshly made. Does anybody know were to find early demos line this one. These very early mixes are the best, later versions became kind of clogged and lost some attack.This version is not even on the big Small Faces box that was released some years ago?
@@ernestkinas5973 This is from like 3 years after My Generation. My Generation was already ancient by the time this song was recorded. Instead, you should compare this with "Glow Girl" or "Melancholia"--which are also from 1968.
I didn't find the words to this song. So here it is... Loving to you crying bird (Oh fly) I'll give you need everyturn (Oh you) This aren't strange Let's me give exchange What goes off. This nothing it with go-go-goes And we can't do And just me You And us too Dealing to lone love or not Say they never hurts anymore 'Cause such a knower role Strech up the door That was hit Always score For the game you choose And it's me And you And us too (me you and us too) x2 Anything meanwhile Just looked up in the sky There it is. Just let us to go 'Cause nothing left to do Like me And you And us too (me you and us too) x many times))
Do you know as a music fan back in the 60s I’ve got to see so many bands live but we have or should I say we had a little dance hall in Dereham in Norfolk it was called the Tavern club and legally allowed to hold 520 people I remember seeing the small faces in there and the estimation was just under 1100 never in my life have I ever seen such atmosphere the noise and the pure energy one of many great nights but definitely the small faces live with something else
Love me till you cry and burn I'll give you heat in return. Is life strange? living things change While it goes on. There's nothing in their book of rules That we can't do With just me, you and us too. He lived alone, love for none Said "pain never hurt anyone" Got consumption on the floor Stretcher out the door And that was it. Always score for the game you choose And that's me and you, and us too. If you're thinking "why ?" Just look up in the sky And there it is- Tell your lovers to call Cos there's nothing they can do Just like me, you, and us too.
This will blow you away - the isolated vocals of Marriott singing "Saieide Mamoom" also known as "Wham Bam Thank you Mam", which of course is the same as "Me You and Us Too" but with slight changes in lyrics.. His voice is so powerful and pure when heard unadulterated - it's goose bump inducing. Bless you Steve and thank you 💖 ruclips.net/video/sCLccJQ49Dk/видео.html
Can anyone explain this for me, found the single for Afterglow (South African pressing) and the B-Side is still listed as Wham Bam, however its this version (the extremely better one IMO) which actually plays. Anyone know anything
I was at school in secondary school in the late 70s early 80s during the mod revival and I can't remember one mod with the small faces on their parker it was mainly the who and the jam
I could picture substituting any member of the Who into this band seamlessly; their own styles would gel so perfectly well. Moons drumming or Daltry singing or Pete Townsend handling the guitar parts. And also, this song reminds me a little bit of My Wife by Entwhistle.
@@chrispicton4160 daltrey didn’t get on with kenny and resented him being a member receiving royalties for songs written before he joined . Kenny said he got on great with the rest of the band but he said daltrey behaved like a kid.

Great tune, great montage , thanks for posting all those years ago)
I finally had a realization.
After all these years I'd be scratching me head trying to figure out who was my favourite band.
The Kinks or the Who.
Neither.
It was the Small Faces all along.
Same
Right on! Right on! Small Faces soul brother!
There ya go.
@@siouxpeden3353 в
You don't have to pick. It's all an embarrisment of riches.
Masterpiece
These pictures are
box-fresh & brilliant
This is a new track to me and so brilliant. This band should have been massive globally. Pure raw quality. So glad I rediscovered them.
And would become later Humble pie
They were...
@@davidreed6264 Just like Savoy Brown becoming Foghat. Jim
I always liked the small faces from the first time I heard them back home in Germany in the late 60th.
They were just out of this world and left The Who - and everyone else for that matter - just staring at the floor.
Man! This a great recording! I really dig their groove and hope others appreciate just how ahead of their time they were! I will always be a SMALL FACES fan.

Never heard a duff track by these guys. Plain good.
Just crushing! Raw power!!

there manager wouldnt let the go there scared he would lose them to big record companys
@@PBZilsty McGlagan got busted for drugs according to Kenney Jones, so couldn`t go
Shocking wasn't it, they would have absolutely smashed it! Never cared for the Dave Clark 5 but hey they did well in the States so fair play. Such a travesty on part of the Small Faces management.
Don Arden was a crook, only cared about the money. Andrew Oldham wasn't much better but at least they got more studio time with him.
@@wellsy1954 yet Kenney Jones shows appreciation for Arden as he said they wouldn't have made it without him. He wished Don was there when they got a blue plaque in Carnaby Street
this is a new track for me..absolute belter.
British Mod rock at its unequaled best
Just run out of words to describe Small Faces Pure talent. And creative mega talented guys. Had the good fortune to see them. G
The forgotten genius . Share the magic with all who will listen
Another howitzer from one of the best bands to come out of the UK.
Great song and wonderful video of the guys!
Top ten greatest band who ever lived. STILL AWESOME TODAY !!!! G
A year later - still freakin amazing !!!!
Rock roll vlw banda hail
Best east end band ever.
Hadn't heard this one before!! Love it!! Classic S.F.'s!!
Wham bam thank you

Again, seriously, 1966?? Awesome!
Nah this wasn't recorded until late '68 I think.
Whenever I listen to this song even knowing is from the 60s makes me feel I'm living the 80s, that's an awesome shit 💛⚡⚡⚡⚡
Job done .. ill get my coat now .. cheers!
Amazing assortment of photos!
Spec-fucking-tacular! Pop monsters.
Never heard this track before, but love the band, thanks for posting its brilliant just like the Small Faces ❤

A forerunner of his Pie stuff 👍
Everybody should know The Small Faces SMOKED The Who. Steven Marriott was a god.
They were friends so why create a rivalrity ?
@@CamizZio .
I agree with both of you.
This blows My Generation out of the water.

All hail the forgotten genius spread the secret too all who will listen
Blows My Generation out of the water.
Sorry Pete.
This was recorded 3 years after My Generation. Not really a good comparison.
modtastic
Indeed.
I didn't find the words to this song.
So here it is...
Loving to you crying bird
(Oh fly)
I'll give you need everyturn
(Oh you)
This aren't strange
Let's me give exchange
What goes off.
This nothing it
with go-go-goes
And we can't do
And just me
You
And us too
Dealing to lone love or not
Say they never hurts anymore
'Cause such a knower role
Strech up the door
That was hit
Always score
For the game you choose
And it's me
And you
And us too
(me you and us too) x2
Anything meanwhile
Just looked up in the sky
There it is.
Just let us to go
'Cause nothing left to do
Like me
And you
And us too
(me you and us too) x many times))
Stretcher out the door and that was it
thankx mucho molto !!!
@@hanszlh6522 Your kidding moron. Opens with " love me till you cry and burn, I'll give me in return", A bit different don't you think?
@@bassistlearningdrums may be)
Much better than "Wham bam" etc
For f.. sake I was thinkin what the end of 70's band sounds this, Eddie&The Hot Rods..
Do you know as a music fan back in the 60s I’ve got to see so many bands live but we have or should I say we had a little dance hall in Dereham in Norfolk it was called the Tavern club and legally allowed to hold 520 people I remember seeing the small faces in there and the estimation was just under 1100 never in my life have I ever seen such atmosphere the noise and the pure energy one of many great nights but definitely the small faces live with something else
Kennys drumming 👌
Love me till you cry and burn
I'll give you heat in return.
Is life strange? living things change
While it goes on.
There's nothing in their book of rules
That we can't do
With just me, you and us too.
He lived alone, love for none
Said "pain never hurt anyone"
Got consumption on the floor
Stretcher out the door
And that was it.
Always score for the game you choose
And that's me and you, and us too.
If you're thinking "why ?"
Just look up in the sky
And there it is-
Tell your lovers to call
Cos there's nothing they can do
Just like me, you, and us too.
Pioneers
F A N T A S T I C photographs, too
Is it just mee, or does this use the same melody/backing track as "Wham Bam, Thank You Ma'am?"
The true face of the mod movement!

The Sweet!
This is a beauty. Sounds a bit Cream.
Smokin
Wham Bam, Thank You Man. The best version.
has a bit of a HUMBLE PIE sound. don't know the year this was relaease. 1st time I ever heard this. WOW !!!!!
Ditto over here!
A little more hard-edged than the usual Small Faces sound
Same singer.
Duh...
I thought I could hear vocals sounding a little Cream-ish. Who first? Dunno. lol
Steve Marriott was The Leader of Humble Pie and The Leader of The Small Faces .
Tune !
I hear sounds in this song that I don't hear from the Who's music until years later.
Can anyone explain this for me, found the single for Afterglow (South African pressing) and the B-Side is still listed as Wham Bam, however its this version (the extremely better one IMO) which actually plays. Anyone know anything
I was at school in secondary school in the late 70s early 80s during the mod revival and I can't remember one mod with the small faces on their parker it was mainly the who and the jam
Same now, my friend's 16 year old son is a mod but only listens to the Who and the Jam! I'll teach him!!
among the top 10 or 20 off all time....
This almost sounds like it could be Sweet.
Here's another clue .I'll never give away that special part of me away not even you too you!.
I could picture substituting any member of the Who into this band seamlessly; their own styles would gel so perfectly well. Moons drumming or Daltry singing or Pete Townsend handling the guitar parts. And also, this song reminds me a little bit of My Wife by Entwhistle.
The drummer Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon. They were all good buddies.

This was released after NSU

Never spotted the connection.
Good ear!

@@richardbranton7396 I know. But Cream's "NSU" (1966) is from before both "Me You And Us Too" (1968) and "Wham Bam Thank You Man" (1968) by 2 years.
I'm not from that era but I wish Steve had never abandoned his mates.
Sublime ,,,, Gx
MOD_gods_from the uk heavens
What a fantastic record, and what a brilliant band. But how did they so quickly go from this to that bloody awful Ogden's Nut Gone Flake record?
Pity don Arden screwed them out of their cash .
A recurring theme for bands (even the Beatles) in the 'poptastic 60s'
What album is this from I can't find it?
❣️
Brilliant. Sexy. There's a lot of Bowie in this.
Hahaha... Bowie started many years after, exactly the contrary...
@@maurojuliano7698 bowie was doodling around in '66
Stevie Marriott Fucking Rite!!!!!! Rip mate c u next time, luv ya
All they need is Jorma. Then you wouldn't be able to tell it from Jefferson airplane
When was this released? Or is it an AI generated song hmmm.
Très bonne chanson, mais déjà existante sous le titre 'Wham bam thank you man' , la face B de l'excellent 'Afterglow of your love'.
c'est la démo de la chanson "wham bam..." pour moi plus belle que celle publiée!

Désolé, moi je n'entends aucune différence entre les deux.
