78 in the Shade (1978)
The fifth and final Small Faces studio album, released on Atlantic during their short-lived 1970s reunion, and a follow-up to Playmates. It arrived as punk was reshaping British music and received largely indifferent reviews, with the band splitting up shortly after.
All of 78 in the ShadeSmall Faces
Small Faces were a rock and pop band from London, founded in 1965, built around singer and guitarist Steve Marriott, bassist Ronnie Lane, drummer Kenney Jones, and keyboardist Ian McLagan. They started as one of the leading mod groups of the mid-1960s before moving into psychedelic rock later in the decade. After breaking up in the late 1960s and reforming briefly in the 1970s, they never quite recaptured their earlier commercial footing.
