It peaked at number 12 in the [[UK Album Chart]]<ref>{{cite book | last = Hewitt | first = Paulo | last2 = Hellier | first2 = John | title = Steve Marriott – All Too Beautiful... | publisher = Helter Skelter | isbn = 1-900924-44-7 | pages = 149 }}</ref> and was their first [[LP album|LP]] for [[Immediate Records|Immediate]] in 1967. In America, the album was issued with an alternative track order as '''''There Are But Four Small Faces'''''. Confusingly, the band's debut album, released on [[Decca Records|Decca]] in 1966, is also entitled ''[[Small Faces (1966 album)|Small Faces]]''. ==Album profile== At the time of the release of this album, an unofficial compilation ''[[From the Beginning (Small Faces album)|From the Beginning]]'' was released by Decca. Small Faces had transferred to the Immediate label headed by [[Andrew Loog Oldham]]. At the beginning of "All Our Yesterdays" [[Steve Marriott]] can be heard in an exaggerated [[cockney]] voice announcing "And now for your delight ah, the darling of Wapping Wharf launderette, Ronald ah 'Leafy' Lane!!!". An alternative version of the Immediate ''Small Faces'', entitled ''There are But Four Small Faces'', was released in the United States somewhat belatedly through [[Columbia Records|Columbia Records distribution]].<ref> {{cite web | title = ''Small Faces There Are But Four Small Faces'' | publisher = Artistdirect | url = http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,164560,00.html | accessdate = 17 August 2007 }}</ref> The album is a favourite of [[Small Faces]] obsessive Paul Weller, who named the album in his 'Top Ten of All-Time' in 1992. [[The Jam]] had covered 'Get Yourself Together' between 1981–1982. Donovan (a friend of the Small Faces) recorded "[[Hurdy Gurdy Man]]" (1968), a song that both musically and thematically references "Green Circles." ==Track listing== All tracks written by [[Steve Marriott]] and [[Ronnie Lane]], unless otherwise noted.
