...famous album "Ogdens' Nut Flake" created around the fictional character Happiness Stan who goes looking for the other half of the moon. Because of the complexity of the album the band introduced Peter Frampton on guitar. In March 1969 Marriott left the band and formed a new outfit "Humble Pie". The Small Faces recruited Rod Stewart (vocals) and a bit later Ronnie Wood (guitar) and renamed the band "The Faces". The Small Faces reformed around 1977 for 2 further albums but failed to create the success they previously enjoyed.
