Small Faces are one of the all-time great British bands from the 1960's but they never got the attention, success or respect they deserved. (Some of that was due to self-inflicted damage, but still...) Their biggest hit was "Itchycoo Park", 2:45 of psychedelic pop perfection. All 4 members of the band shine, and engineer Glyn Johns gets to introduce the world to the sound of flanging. Feel inclined to blow your mind? Check out this episode.

Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the show. We discussed "Tin Soldier" back on Episode 54. We also discussed PP Arnold (who sang backup on "Tin Soldier") on Episode 149. You can find both of those episodes on our website (or in your podcast app) if you'd like to listen to them. Thanks again!

To say that a song is 'way ahead of its time' is misleading. It assumes that music progressively improves. This is wrongheaded. The song is of its time and in many ways much more genuine than the digitally generated, soulless offerings that we have to swallow now. Incidentally, I bought this single the week after its release!

I didn't say the song was "ahead of its time"-- that was one of the other commenters here. But, in terms of the use of technology, the application of the flanging effect so prominently was innovative and that put the track ahead of what others were doing in the studio. As Andrew Hickey often says on his podcast, "there is no 'first' anything", but this song was one of the earliest uses of flanging, an effect that soon would become commonplace. You could argue that makes the recording "ahead of its time", but ultimately, I think that's just semantics. You, I, and the others who posted here, are all in agreement that this track is a great piece of work and worthy of more attention. Thanks so much for listening & for your comments!
