SMALL FACES ‘ALL OR NOTHING 1965-1968′ DVD


At long last, the definitive official DVD for one of the greatest groups of the sixties (or any other decade for that matter.). Small Faces: All Or Nothing 1965 – 1968 features 23 complete performances filmed from 1965 to 1968 when the band was challenging the Who, Kinks, Stones and Beatles for domination of the charts. The DVD captures every aspect of their short but brilliant career including early Mod/R&B classics such as “What’cha Gonna Do About It”, “Sha La La La Lee” and “All Or Nothing”, timeless rockers like “Tin Soldier” and later psychedelic masterpieces including “Itchycoo Park”, and “Green Circles.” Best of all is the inclusion of eight songs from the band’s LP masterpiece Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake including “Lazy Sunday”, “Song Of A Baker” and the six song Happiness Stan suite. In between the performances original members Ian McLagan, Kenny Jones and Jimmy Winston talk about the songs and tell the band’s history in new interviews filmed exclusively for the DVD. Also interwoven into the story are archival interviews with Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. This DVD is one of the first four releases in the British Invasion series and is sold individually or as part of the British Invasion Boxset containing Gerry & The Pacemakers: It’s Gonna Be Alright 1963- 1965, Herman’s Hermits: Listen People 1964 – 1969 and Dusty Springfield Once Upon A Time 1964 – 1969.

  1. Yea I bought these DVDs too. I think I got full value for my money. What I liked about these DVD’s is the band members talking and recounting about each song and special moments in the history of the group.Dusty’s number “Son Of A Preacher Man,” is still a masterpiece.Wow what a singer she was!!!! Small Faces “Itchycoo Park”, and “Green Circles.” are psychedelic treasures.”No milk Today” by Herman’s Hermits is still a joy to watch. All said and done, this compilation is neatly done piece of work.
