The Autumn Stone (3CD)

Immediate / Nice IMCD0102

Released: 28 March 2025

The album is released on Kenney Jones' Nice records, licensed by Immediate and BMG. The 3LP set include a 24 page booklet with rare memorabilia, original artwork and unseen photos. The third CD contains the original album.

The original version of The Autumn Stone was rush-released with a cover mistake and songs omitted. This new remastered edition corrects those errors and includes some acoustic mixes, an unreleased track and some newly mixed versions.

After the success of Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, the Small Faces were working on ideas for a follow-up album. This was provisionally called 1862 after the stone above a door at Marriott's new home, Beehive Cottage, where he was looking to install a recording studio. Although this was never released, tracks surfaced on the posthumous The Autumn Stone alongside singles from both Decca and Immediate recordings and live tracks from a Newcastle City Hall concert in November 1968. Incidentally, Ronnie Lane had written a song for 1862 called The Creation which later became Stone and Evolution in the 1970s.

Please note there is a slightly different limited edition LP version with additional tracks.
