Steve Marriott's Moments - EP

4 track EP featuring TWO UNRELEASED Steve Marriott tracks!
60'S style hi gloss/lamination on front cover. Excellent artwork. Highly collectable!
There are few stars in the pop pantheon who could legitimately be described as legends. Steve Marriott is one. From the electrifying bundle of energy
that fronted the SMALL FACES, through his HUMBLE PIE 'super-group' with Peter Frampton, and his eventual return to his Essex blues roots, Steve
Marriott crammed a lot into a short time. But what of Marriott's time before the Small Faces?
At 16, Steve Marriott formed The Moments, an east London R'n'B band with a loyal mod following through their residencies at the Flamingo Club.
They gigged hard through 1964 but commercial success eluded them, and in October of that year Marriott was dumped by the rest of the band after
they decided that 'he didn't have it in him to be a singer'. Last year, Barry Hewitt, the bass player in The Moments, chanced upon an unplayed
acetate recorded back in 1964. These unheard recordings found their way to Acid Jazz, where they have been coupled with The Moments only
release, the impossibly rare 'You Really Got Me'/'Money' (US World Artists 1964) for a special limited edition 7" vinyl EP, in a cracking 60s-style
picture sleeve. The two unreleased tracks are included on the forthcoming Acid Jazz long player 'Rare Mod' (AJXCD/LP211), released Jan 2009
