· SMALL FACES – THERE ARE BUT FOUR SMALL FACES – 1968 IMMEDIATE RECORDS STEREO LP Z1252002
· GENUINE U.S. PRESSING
*** STILL SEALED GUARANTEED ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING ***
· PLEASE NOTE: WHILE WE KNOW FOR FACT THAT YOU WILL FIND ORIGINAL IMMEDIATE PRESSING INSIDE, AND WHILE WE GUARANTEE THAT THE RECORD INSIDE ITSELF IS AUTHENTIC AND MADE FROM THE SAME STAMPERS AS ANY OTHER ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS TITLE, WE HAVE GRAVE MISGIVINGS ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE COVER; NAMELY, THE BLACK & WHITE COVER YOU NEVER SEE ON THE OFFICIAL IMMEDIATE RELEASES OF THIS TITLE. OUR UNCONFIRMED AND HIGHLY SPECULATIVE THEORY IS THAT THIS PRESSING COMES FROM THE BATCH OF ILLICIT (UNAUTHORIZED) PRESSINGS MADE BY ONE OF COLUMBIA'S (ALSO SHARED BY IMMEDIATE) SHADY AND DUBIOUS DISTRIBUTING AGENTS, PRODUCED BY USING THE INSIDER ACCESS AND PRESSING PRIVILEGE PROVIDED BY COLUMBIA. SIMILAR SEMI-LEGAL "INSIDE JOB" PRESSINGS (FURNISHED TO THE LOCAL RETAILERS, BUT NOT REPORTED TO THE PARENT COMPANY) ARE ALSO KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN BY OTHER COLUMBIA/EPIC/ODE/IMMEDIATE ARTISTS AT THE TIME: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, CAROLE KING'S CITY, YARDBIRDS, SPIRIT, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL AND OTHERS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND.
THIS ITEM COMES FROM THE INCREDIBLE, SINGLE-OWNER COLLECTION WE ACQUIRED A WHILE AGO, IN WHICH ITEMS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT BY THE OWNER FROM THE MID-'60s to THE MID-'70s WERE KEPT STILL SEALED IN A NEAR-LABORATORY, TIME-CAPSULE CONDITIONS AND IN PRACTICALLY CLIMATE- AND HUMIDITY- CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. CONDITIONS OF SOME OF THESE ITEMS RANGE FROM IMPECCABLE TO TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. SOME OF THESE BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM PIECES LOOKED SO PERFECT THAT WE HAD TO REINSPECT AND RE-EXAMINE THEM A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT RECENT REISSUES (REST ASSURED THEY ARE NOT -- THESE ARE ALL 40-50 YEAR OLD STILL SEALED ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSINGS AS YOU MAY NEVER FIND AGAIN!!)
· GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PINK IMMEDIATE LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT.
· TWO “BREATHE” (AIR) HOLES NOTED ON THE SHRINK WRAP

· ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)
· SECOND VERSION OF THE COVER WITH BLACK & WHITE PHOTO

(►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)
(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get. GUARANTEED!)

The Small Faces' first album for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label originally appeared in two different forms in England (where it was known as Small Faces) and America, and the two song lineups have been combined on: There Are but Four Small Faces. The music here is much more fully developed and experimental than their preceding album, still largely R&B-based (apart from the delightfully trippy "Itchycoo Park," the band's sole American hit) but with lots of unusual sounds and recording techniques being attempted.

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).
(b) The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
