"The Autumn Stone" was the posthumous retrospective double album released in the UK by Small Faces in 1969 on the Immediate label.

Album profile

The double album contains most of the Immediate and Decca original 7" single releases together with an eclectic blend of unreleased and live material including the enigmatic and haunting love song "Autumn Stone". It was released by Andrew Loog Oldham soon after the band announced their official break up in 1969. In Germany the LP's alternate title was "In Memorium".
