‘All Or Nothing’: the Small Faces song that caged The Beatles and The Beach Boys at their peakAs far as British bands of the 1960s go, Small Faces were perhaps one of the most unfortunate in terms of not receiving the level of acclaim they deserved, and their short-lived time together in this incarnation is a telling sign of just how hard they had it. If they were capable of dethroning the biggest band in the world and could keep arguably the greatest pop song ever written at bay, then surely the sky was the limit? By this point, Small Faces had become one of the biggest-selling groups in the UK at the time, but were making little money as a result of all of the behind-the-scenes turmoil. The fact that they were unable to reproduce any of this during live performances resulted in him quitting, and Small Faces, in this incarnation, ceased to exist. ‘All Or Nothing’ may not have even been their best song, but it’s by far their most successful, and that’s perhaps one of the most tragic things about Small Faces.
