What's Spinning, Vol. 43

Good things come in Small Faces

Passing the day by with some British psychedelic rock in the form of the band, Small Faces.

This album is considered by many to be peak psychedelic rock and I couldn't agree more.

But it's also more than that on this album. It's entire second side is a concept album that follows Happiness Stan and his quest to find the missing half of the moon.

In addition, it features, David McCallum Sr from the Scottish National Orchestra, on the violin. You may know his son and the one who created the most widely used sample for rap music but also Ducky from NCIS or the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

If you're looking for straight psychedelic rock though, skip to song three on the album; Long Agos and Worlds Apart. It's nothing short of brilliant.

All that being said, it's definitely an album that should not be missed.
