The Autumn Stone

Curated by Kenney Jones & newly mastered by Nick Robbins, the expanded limited edition 3-LP boxset features previously unreleased tracks newly mixed from Olympic Studios session tapes by Tosh Flood (The Divine Comedy) with lacquers cut by Barry Grint at AIR Studios in London. The lavishly packaged boxset will be released on 28 March 2025 exclusively from the official Small Faces website on "autumn gold" colour vinyl. Significantly expanded from the unfinished original LP, the new 3-LP will feature previously unreleased & rare versions of Small Faces songs, including stripped-down acoustic mixes which highlight the distinctive & unique voice of Steve Marriott. A 68-page hardback book will contain detailed sleeve notes & track-by-track recording information, lavishly illustrated with rare memorabilia, original artwork & previously unseen photos by Small Faces photographers Tony Gale & Gered Mankowitz.“What I really like about this new deluxe edition is the Small Faces finally get to have an input. Immediate originally rushed out ‘The Autumn Stone’ compilation after we’d split into the Faces & Humble Pie. And no one spotted the big mistake on the cover or that songs had been left off! I’ve added an unreleased track and versions newly mixed that have never been heard before, a whole side of acoustic mixes that showcase Steve Marriott’s incredible voice, one side of live songs newly mastered to vinyl at the correct speed & everything is remastered from original tapes, including the Decca tracks. I’ve added songs that me, Ronnie, Mac & Steve loved working on & I got to correct all the errors with the original sound. The box set looks incredible, with gold foil lettering, 3-LPs pressed on 180-gram autumn stone and gold vinyl. There’s a 68-page hardback book which has so much in it, including sleeve notes, interviews, track-by-track details, a feature on our ‘1862’ sessions & pages of rare memorabilia, original artwork & previously unseen photos by our wonderful photographers, including Gered Mankowitz. I’m so pleased Gered is working with me on the album he originally helped design. Which means after 55 years, he’s finally put the Small Faces name on the cover!” KENNEY JONES, 2025
