At the time of the release of this album, an unofficial second 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 exaggeratedcockney voice announcing "And now for your delight, the darling of Wapping Wharf launderette, Ronald the '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 distribution. [cite web
