Small Faces - What Fun!

[Alberto]

I enjoy re-reading some vintage R2DF (Records to Die For) issues of Stereophile and go to Rhapsody to see if I can find the record (~80% hit rate) and then listen to it.

Yesterday, I read about the "Small Faces" and decided to give them a spin on Rhapsody. What a fun, energetic, and accomplished band. I was a toddler when they were a bit hit in the UK, but I can see why people loved them. All their songs have an irresistible and propulsive beat. I recommend their "Anthology" collection to start.

Now that I know I really like them, thanks to Rhapsody, off I go to the record store.

If you are not familiar with the Small Faces, check them out. If you are, perhaps you can chime in ...

Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours( da da da do)
But they make it very clear they've got no room for ravers

They stop me from groovin, they bang on me wall
They're doin me crust in it's no good at all,

Lazy sunday afternoon, I've got no mind to worry, close my eyes and
Drift away, Close my eyes and drift away.

Here we all are sittin in a rainbow(da da da do)
Cor blimey hallo missus Jones hows your Berts lumbago?
I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune
I'll sing at your party while you suss out the moon, oh yeah

Lazy sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry,
Close my eyes and drift away, Close my eyes and drift away,
Close my eyes and drift away

Aroo de de de do
Aroo de de de dido

Theres no one to see me theres nothin to say,
And no one can stop me from feelin this way

Lazy sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drit away
close my eyes and drift away
