Immerse yourself in the definitive sound of the British Mod movement with this exceptionally rare, original 1966 UK 1st mono pressing of the Small Faces’ self-titled debut studio album on Decca Records (Catalogue No. LK 4790). A holy grail find for 1960s beat and garage rock collectors, this investment-grade release features the iconic, historical unboxed red and silver Decca label layout.

The absolute authenticity of this vintage vinyl record is verified by its machine-stamped matrix runouts (XARL-7217-4A and XARL-7218-3A). These codes indicate an authentic, earliest-tier master lacquer cut from Decca's legendary New Malden pressing plant. Unlike modern reissues, this genuine 1966 mono mix delivers a punchy, bass-heavy analog master profile, capturing the raw energy of Steve Marriott’s soulful vocals on legendary Mod-rock anthems like What'Cha Gonna Do About It, Sha La La La Lee, and You Need Loving.

This highly collectible item is carefully graded at VG+/EX. The classic front-laminated picture sleeve presents a clean, high-gloss front facade with standard age-related discolouration on the un-laminated reverse side, remaining structurally sound. The vinyl is in excellent clean condition, retaining its factory gloss to promise a premium, low-noise audio playback performance.

Whether expanding a vintage rock archive or acquiring premium investment-grade vinyl, this pristine UK mono first edition stands out. Secure this essential piece of British rock history for your turntable setup today.
