I haven't heard this Small Faces number, but Whole Lotta Love is essentially a cover version of the Willie Dixon penned You Need Love, which indecently, The Small Faces covered on their debut album as You Need Loving. Maybe this High Willie is another version of it.
LOL Alex, as I wrote in my first message of course I know are based on Willie Dixon song (and he stole that one from starving musicians) but check the way Robert Plant sings that one, and the arrangement, it was based by far more on the Small Faces cover than the Willie Dixon cover (the song is not by Willie anyway)
Listen that one or the one in the first studio album, I'm going to upload it later

BTW, Robert Plant was a huge fan of the Small Faces, he admitted he took those parts from Whole Lotta Love from Steve and his singing style copied from the early Steve
Steve waa a candidate to form Led Zeppelin before Robert Plant

The first concept album??
It depends on what your definition of “Concept Album” is. For me is an album about one theme and with the songs linked, if it also has defined characters with defined personalities is the best definition of “Concept album” imho of course
Regular albums have songs about different themes and not linked between each other, “concept albums” are about the same and are linked.
For me the first was The Small Faces' "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake", could be the first “Half-and-a-portion concept album” Side 2 is about the same theme, the songs are linked and it has defined characters and is narrated. Then track 1 on side 1 is as an overture for the whole album which is not linked lyrically but musically, song 4 on side one “Rene” is the same, it fits perfectly in terms of sound and music with the story on side 2. Steve Marriott didn’t want “Lazy Sunday” added, but it was added as the last song of side 1 but it fits very good as side 2 is an acid trip!!
So it was the very first “concept album” in that sense. It also was released as a circular record, very cool cover!
The Ventures made an album with the songs named with colors but there ain’t no link between the songs, the same for many of the above mentioned albums
I love “Freak Out” by Frank Zappa, the songs are about the same shit but there ain’t no relation between the songs, however it was the very FIRST double album in rock (released in1966).
Small Faces
which were in thy studios
hallowed be thy name
thy music come
thy songs be sung
on this album as they came from your heads
we give you this day our daily bread
give us thy album in a round cover
as we give thee 37/9d.
Lead us into the record stores
and deliver us Ogden's Nut Gone Flake
for nice is the music, the sleeve and the story,
for ever and ever

Happiness Stan: Story
(Taken from Wikipedia... thanks to those involved)
When Stan looks up in the sky and sees only half the moon, he sets out on a quest to search for the missing half. Along the way he saves a fly from starvation, and in gratitude the insect tells him of someone who can answer his question and also tell him the philosophy of life itself. With his magic power Stan intones, "If all the flies were one fly, what a great enormous fly-follolloper that would bold," and the fly grows to gigantic proportions. Seated on the giant fly's back Stan takes a psychedelic journey to the cave of Mad John the hermit, who explains that the moon's disappearance is only temporary, and demonstrates by pointing out that Stan has spent so long on his quest that the moon is now full again. He then sings Stan a cheerful song about the meaning of life.
Now here you have the whole performance of side 2, the only time they did it... live (some already posted above but now in sequence, so burn a bone and pay attention babies, this is ROCK HISTORY

About "concept albums", there's Little Deuce Coupe (1963), from the Beach Boys: mostly songs about cars.

For me that is NOT a concept album but there are many opinions about what it is but according to this definition the Ogden's is the first: An album with all the songs about the same subject, linked and with characters with defined personalities, "Tommy" by the Who was released the next year, however Pete wrote "I'm a sensation" in 1968 but later he linked it to the Tommy Story
The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds", The Ventures album mentioned above and the Beatles "Sgt. Peppers" in my opinion are not concept albums as the songs are not related, maybe the Beatles' Peppers as many songs talk about drugs implicitly
Small Faces also influenced bands like Genesis, about sike-ay-delic fairy tales, Jefferson Airplane about an album with a cover that stores weed
Holloweed be thy name: Nut Gone Flake!!

Sorry for being pedantic, but I think that Blonde On Blonde was released in May of '66, and Zappa's in July.

I should be castrated.
In got no idea about how the The Small Faces, Humble Pie & Steve Marriott even sound or look .... but I got all the Faces records including the recent box, all the Rod albums featuring Woody, and all the Ron Wood Solo releases, of course. I even dig Ian McLagan's 'Troublemaker' record...got his autographed autobigraphy and even communicated with him thru e-mail....the big surprise was receiving kind replies from the man himself!
But the fact remains, Mr. Wood is in the centre of the whole thing....and stands tall - the very reason that I sometimes consider living for.

Small Faces was an awesome band, and Marriott one of the all-time best singers. They may not have sold a huge volume of records in the U.S. but they were hugely influential, and their body of work easily matches any of their contemoraries. Nice that there's a good deal of footage to look at these days. The "Tin Soldier" clip just floors me, and backup singer P.P. Arnold is strikingly gorgeous in that one. SF is WAY overdue for induction into the R&R Hall Of Fame.

I don't have my thinking cap on! Though I do know that Steve Mariott sings backing vocals on Another Land and maybe plays acoustic guitar?

Why the Small Faces were so popular in the UK and practically unknown in the USA?

I think that bewteen other reasons maybe the name of the band was one reason as "faces" was a local slang for mods so the name "small faces" does not make sense, or taking at just "a little face" also probably they were too heavy during the "mod period" (also known as the Decca years) who knows
However the Pie was very popular in the USA, probably more than the Faces and of course than the Small Faces
