Here's
the question for Small Faces fans: Is it better to own the original
Immediate albums or to invest in the splendid double-disc set, The
Darlings of Wapping Wharf Launderette? The question is a tricky one,
since Darlings contains all of their Immediate recordings, meaning all
of Autumn Stone (or There Are But Four Small Faces, as it's known in its
American incarnation), plus all of the landmark Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.
Granted, Ogden's is divided cleanly in half, with the first side
appearing on disc one and the second on disc two, which may irritate
listeners who like to hear the concept album uninterrupted.
Nevertheless, it's hard not to view Darlings as a real bargain, since it
gathers all the singles, albums, B-sides, plus some outtakes and
alternate mixes and versions from the group's most creative period. And,
hearing them in this setting, it's hard not to be stunned by the depth
of the group's songwriting and restless musicality, which holds its own
with peers like the Kinks and the Who. So, the question may indeed be an
easy one, after all -- if you want to be stunned by the Small Faces'
peak, there's no better place to turn.
