The Stones go psychadelic, had never really explored this one before recently. They didnāt really explore this stuff further after this album and the album was the panned as a rip off of those trends of the time and the what the Beatles had done, but still give this a listen, cool stuff. This is what digging into discographies and less popular stuff is all about, finding these fun one offs.

Acoustic guitars! What?!? Iām pretty sure that very early teenage me thought this intro was amazing. So when the Electric Guitar and Drums enter, they do so with Aplomb. To put it mildly. The guitar is HUGE. The riff is HUGE.Ā All Of This And NothingĀ - the bandās most ambitious piece, at that juncture. 6 minutes 23 seconds.
A phonebook full of accidents
A girl to drive your car
A suit to wear on Mondays
And a coat a magazine
A heavy rain a holiday
A painting of the wall
A knife, a fork and memories
A light to see it all
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Itās pretty great, really great, and then, well, it doesnāt *quite* deliver the money shot.
Hey, I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you round
But then the final, excellent conclusion
Now I'm left with all of this
A room full of your trash
Maybe a touch too much sax, but lovely.
The band that refuses to be a rock pop band makes an almost perfect rock pop album.
I'm pretty sure my first band started almost right after this. I couldn't play for shit, but then, I didn't NEED to.

If you ever wondered where Blurās Damon Albarn got his ideas for the āParklifeā album, look no further than the Little Stevie Marriott era of the Faces.
This Summer of Love psychedelic gem is full of all sorts of surprises but āLazy Sundayā is based on a real-life conflict the party-all-the-time Marriott was having with his neighbors. š„

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnāt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canāt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ā¤ļø
