Somethin' Else is all that. I found the emotional (not artistic) decline of Big Star a little sad and wasn't ready to hear Third after the first two albums. The second is great but I do miss Chris Bell's voice on it.

Two swings through Zoom and it's great -- then I look it up. Boy is it overlooked! Jeff Lynne would surely appreciate the appreciation. No wonder it was another 14 years before ELO resurfaced again!

The Autumn Stone was the first Small Faces album I bought after falling in Love with Ronnie Lane/Rough Mix. Haven't listened to it in a long while. Might have to rectify that this weekend.

I feel like the Small Faces catalog needs some attention. They should get a nice reissue program too--they deserve it!

Every time you hear a bell ring, a Small Faces record gets reissued.

It seems like every other year, something else gets reissued.

BUT...only recently have they been doing it right, thanks to Kenney Jones.

These are all excellent.
