This can be a fine used bin find for fans who can't locate of don't wanna pay full price for the band's first two Immediate LP:s. Three cuts from "As Safe As Yesterday Is" and seven from "Town And Country" plus the then 45 only "Natural Born Woman". So you get most numbers from their rarest second album, but also some very good ones from the debute. To my taste the cover version of Steppenwolf's "Desperation" hits harder than the original, made in a way it could as well have been a late Small Faces recording. I also get a remaining SF feel from tracks as "As Safe As Yesterday" and "Silver Tounge". "Down Home Again" good catchy rock and "Natural Born Woman" tight boogie. So even if a compilation it's still a good rock album, ready to please both Humble Pie lovers and die-hard Small Faces fans. Audio somewhat cleaner than the originals, but still gripping. Also issued on Immediate vinyl 1976 in Australia (IML 1005) and South Africa (IML 1009), but to my knowledge never reissued in any shape. UK came with label as shown here in a thin fully laminated cover. (SXÅH*) (YDÄ*)
