Small Faces - The Autumn Stone (3CD Boxset)

Curated by Kenney Jones and newly mastered by Nick Robbins, this expanded limited edition 3LP box set is a true collector’s gem. Featuring previously unreleased tracks mixed from original Olympic Studios session tapes by Tosh Flood (The Divine Comedy) and cut to vinyl by Barry Grint at London’s AIR Studios, this release is a must-have for fans.

Lavishly packaged and pressed on exclusive “autumn gold” vinyl, the set offers a significantly expanded version of the unfinished original LP.

Both the 3LP and 3CD editions include rare and unreleased versions of Small Faces songs— featuring stripped-down acoustic mixes that shine a light on the unmistakable voice of Steve Marriott.

A 68-page hardback book will contain detailed sleeve notes & track-by-track recording information, lavishly illustrated with rare memorabilia, original artwork & previously unseen photos by Small Faces photographers Tony Gale & Gered Mankowitz. Kenney Jones, drummer for legendary bands’ the Small Faces, the Faces & The Who, is proud to announce an exclusive licensing deal with BMG for his label Nice Records to release Immediate Records in the UK.

Nice Records was originally formed in the 1990’s to raise funds for Ronnie Lane as he battled multiple sclerosis. The iconic Immediate label was originally founded by music industry mavericks Andrew Loog Oldham & Tony Calder in 1965 & has not been available on vinyl for decades. Forthcoming anniversary-edition LPs will include Small Faces, Humble Pie, Chris Farlowe, The Nice, Billy Nicholls, PP Arnold, Keith Richards & more, including Immediate’s acclaimed ‘Blues Anytime’ series curated during 1965–1967 by Mike Vernon & Jimmy Page.

The Immediate 60th Anniversary series will feature vinyl LPs in facsimile sleeves, in-depth sleeve notes & artist interviews, newly mastered from original tape sources, many from Jones’ and Immediate artists’ personal archives. Releases will be approved by the artists & will include limited edition deluxe boxsets with a wealth of rare & previously unreleased material, artist-curated compilations, 7-inch single & EP boxsets, plus signed & numbered exclusives. Nice Records co-owner Nigel Adams says the label are looking forward to working with Charly Records in territories outside the UK to ensure Small Faces & Immediate Records 60th Anniversary products are released simultaneously worldwide.
