Steve Marriott officially announced that he was quitting The Small Faces. In 1973, he told The L.A. Times "I left the band when I realized the gimmickry album tracks we were making and the record company was releasing as singles, like "Itchycoo Park" (US #16) and "Lazy Sunday" (UK #2), were doing much better than the things we really dug." He would go on to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, while the remaining members, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones and Ian McLagan joined forces with two former members of The Jeff Beck Group, singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood to continue as Faces.
