Picture / Small Faces: Decca Years

Here’s a closer look at the forthcoming Decca Years Small Faces five CD box set which is scheduled for release in October.

As mentioned previously, this promises to collect “every recording” the group made for Decca. A close look at the image above reveals how this set is structured, with the first CD a Greatest Hits; the second, their debut Small Faces; From The Beginning follows next with Rarities & Outtakes and BBC Sessions completes the five disc box.

Clearly much of this has been issued before, but these are newly remastered (from analogue sources) and we know that the BBC sessions (at least) will include several previously unavailable recordings.

Pictured with the discs are some postcards and the 72-page booklet which features a Mark Paytress essay.

The Decca Years will be released on 9 October 2015.
