The Love Story - Watch the trailer here!

LOVE Story is the story of LA band LOVE & their legendary frontman Arthur Lee. Their tale is one of the great untold rock & roll stories. One of the first mixed race rock bands, the dark vision of their music set them apart from the utopian ideals of the 'Flower Power' generation and the 'Summer of Love' era.

The film features extensive interviews with LOVE's front man and main songwriter Arthur Lee, as well as all surviving original band members - Johnny Echols, John Fleckenstein, Alban 'Snoopy' Pfisterer, Michael Stuart, Elektra boss Jac Holzman, producer Bruce Botnick & The Doors' John Densmore, as well as archive interview footage of the late Bryan Maclean.

The film is due for release this summer! For further info and film clips go to the Love story Myspace site @ www.myspace.com/lovestorydocumentary

My Favourite 45 by Eddie Piller, DJ

TYRONE DAVIS - IS IT SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT - DAKAR

Eddie Piller founded Acid Jazz Records in 1987 with Gilles Peterson. Today, Acid Jazz goes from strength to strength releasing classic grooves both, old and new. Eddie still DJs regularly alongside his many stints on radio shows. Eddie kindly took time out of his busy schedule to tell RSG a tale about one of his all time favourite 45s from his record collection.

“I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this record. I was in the back room of the legendary SPECIAL BRANCH night that was held at Streatham Ice Rink back in 1985. A DJ called Dave Brown was spinning jazz and a little bit of two step soul when suddenly; BANG! It hit me right in the face. A long lazy guitar riff intro followed by simply the best brass line ever. It was the vocals that really got me though...'there must be something that I'm missing, but is it something she's got?' delivered in a laconic, honey drenched Mississippi drawl”.

“I pestered the DJ, wrote down the details and by the following weekend I had located a copy for a princely £2”.“That same copy stayed in my DJ box and set for the following 21 years and I never missed an opportunity to play it. It became my signature tune!”

“Fast forward to Christmas 2006 and I had just finished recording the BBC Northern Soul New Years Eve special show and left the studio to play a gig in Deptford. I had the 34 records used for the recording in a BBC box and decided that I didn’t want to leave the box in my car boot in case anyone nicked the car”.

“Later that evening the box was stolen from behind the DJ decks at the gig. Well over a grand's worth of singles but the only one I really cared about was my special Tyrone 45. I was so gutted that I toyed with the idea of giving up playing records for a living. Thank you Deptford”.

“Henry Storch from Unique, my German DJ partner gave me his copy, but it wasn’t really the point. I had lost MY copy. The record still only sells for a fiver but it is a thing of great beauty. Buy it.”

Playbox Theatre will stage Ogden's Nut Gone Flake – The Small Faces 1968 concept album – as a show for all the family telling the story of Happiness Stan and his quest to discover the missing half of the moon.

With live music from The Small Fakers – the UK's only tribute Small Faces band, actors, dancers, movement animations and puppeteers from Playbox and a guest narrator – the event promises to be unique and it is hoped to raise a substantial amount for Oxjam from the show. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake will premiere on Thursday 20th November with subsequent performances Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd November at The Dream Factory, Warwick.

Director will be Stewart McGill and Production consultants are John Hellier editor of The Small Faces Darlings of Whapping Wharf and Mark Cunningham editor of Total Production International who will provide essential production and biographical support to the creative team.

The Small Fakers (www.smallfakers.co.uk/) will play Ogden's album live each night with an extra set featuring hits of The Small Faces including Itchycoo Park, Tin Soldier, All For Nothing etc.

Watch a classic clip of the small faces performing an excerpt from Ogdens for a TV special here back in 1968.

My favourite 45 by Ian Moore, Comedian

Last month, on a night out at Jongleurs, I had the pleasure of stumbling across a comedian called Ian Moore. Not only is Ian one of the funniest comics I have seen, he is also a lover of all things Mod and a massive music fan to boot.

Ian has kindly taken the time out to contribute to our 'My Fave 45' series and he has plumped for this Small Faces related classic from 1968.

PP. Arnold - (If You Think You're) Groovy (Immediate)

"I once tried to finish with a girl by using Woody Allen’s convoluted joke about ‘needing the eggs’, about halfway through the object of my dwindled desire was so confused she decided to finish with me instead because I was ‘doin’ ‘er ‘ead in’".

"The moral of the story is, if you’re going to break up with someone, make it short, sweet and first. However, if you’re not one for advice, try using this absolute belter from PP Arnold & The Small Faces. Written by the criminally underrated Marriot & Lane, it shows that the Small Faces were much more than just another British R&B band".

"Beginning with a pastoral mix of guitar and flutes, Arnold laments that she is being held back by her relationship, at which point Kenny Jones’ drums wake her from her reverie and she kicks off big time with the help of Marriot on backing vocals. It is quite simply sumptuous".

If somebody dumped me like that I’d be bloody honoured".
