The Small Faces: Tin Soldier
Posted in 1960s, Music, Nostalgia, Rock at 2:00 pm on 15 September 2009
Almax* recently featured this song on his blog – which for legal reasons (he’s a lawyer) is sadly restricted to only a few readers.
I was moved to comment that Tin Soldier surely has the single best musical intro to a pop song ever.
It deserves wider hearing. This version has the added benefit of P P Arnold on backing vocals, as did the recording.
As a result of his posting another of Alastair’s readers recommended this, Song Of A Baker, for which embedding is disabled. But you can follow the link.
*Almax’s The Defibrillator blog – on my sidebar – is open to all but he tends not to post new stuff there.
