Nice
Burning
Airlines / New Millennium PILOT 66
Released: 30 October 2000
This is a double CD that comprises Small Faces
appearances for German TV. The first four tracks are taken from the live
programme Beat Beat Beat recorded at Offenbach Stadthalle. The remainder were
recorded for Beat Club at NDR in Bremen.
The second CD features the video footage of all
of the songs, unfortunately in a small window. The first CD is the audio tracks.
Note that the Beat Club performances were mimed so the audio version is,
effectively, the record version. Only the Beat Beat Beat tracks are genuinely
live.

Reviews
Record Collector February 2001
After years of low-generation bootlegs in
circulation, the Small Faces' 1966-1968 German TV appearances (with soundtracks)
have been officially compiled into an audio-visual package that justifies its
title. While the hit singles (and Green Circles) were simply mimed before
a studio audience, it's the raw opening salvo from the band's September
1966 Beat! Beat! Beat! that gives the lie to the notion that the
Faces couldn't cut it live. And the accompanying CD-ROM is worth the fee just to
see Steve Marriott grappling with a Gretsch twice his size!
A 48-page booklet features interviews with
individual band members reproduced from the out-of-print Quite Naturally
book. So - nice band, nice tunes, nice idea. Pity about the unimaginative target
slipcase!
