Re: Small Faces = how did they not catch on in the States ?
I got my first Small Faces 45 from trading 45's with my cousin. That was Itchycoo Park. I had never heard them before but I sure did like that flanging they put on the record. It was all too beautiful!!
They definitely had a good lineup in the band. I always liked Humble Pie too. Tin Soldier is one of my favorite videos.

"Itchycoo Park" was the first British record to use flanging, the technique of playing two identical master tapes simultaneously but altering the speed of one of them very slightly by touching the "flange" of one tape reel, which yielded a distinctive comb-filtering effect; it was an effect developed by Olympic Studios engineer George Chkiantz in 1966.
