Episode 580: Modcast #580: It's All Too Beautiful

Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World

What can I say about the Small Faces that hasn't already been said? Not much honestly. I'm not a Small Faces junky. But I do love their music. In fact, in my earliest mod days I think I preferred them to The Who. It's been said that The Who was a band that became mods, but the Small Faces were mods who became a band. I was looking for some covers of Small Faces songs when I realized how few there really are out there. Compared to the hundreds of covers of The Who, The Kinks, The Stones and other British invasion acts of the 60s, I was shocked at just how few people have covered their songs over the years. And amongst those, fewer still ones that are really any good. I've gathered here a double handful that I think fit the bill and do the group justice.
As always find a complete track list, a bonus third set of songs, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2025/05/modcast-580-its-all-too-beautiful.html.
