In the running for second most adorable picture ever posted on Rocks Off (#1 being Charlie/GotToRollMe).
You guys are all WAAAAAAY off about the first concept record. It was recorded by Charlie Ryan in like 1959.
It was released after the success of the Hot Rod Lincoln single and features a succession of songs about the guy in the song, who meets a "stacked" chick in a sidecar. Through the next eight songs they get married, have twins, he has to sell the Hot Rod Lincoln and get a shitty factory job until he gets a new hot rod and rocks again.
The album sort of loses its focus midway through the second side (kinda like Who Sell Out) but considering that Ogden's Nut Gone is, really, only a concept SIDE (side one having nothing to do with the story at all) I figure that's not really an issue.
Charlie was also a major league pedal steel player, making sound effects and commentary with the thing much like Junior Brown.
Clap twice, lean back, twist for a while!

Wow, boss you're a living encyclopedia of rock and related!
Nice story and yes, based on the definition of a concept album with songs linked on the same subject and with defined charcaters that was a concept album (or half an album LOL); never heard about in my life) Do you have it?
BTW, thanks for your comments and ranking of the picture of my daughter Fernanda showing the back of the album, I like the one showing the front too!

Very close! Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane recorded backing vocals on "In Another Land" (named "Acid in the Grass" when they recorded). The Small Faces used to record live in the studio, the time they used to spend in the studio to record was minimum so they finished they recordings and found, that the Stones were waiting for Keith and Mick to record but they were experimenting LSD during those days so probably that was the reason they didn't show up, so Bill asked Steve and Ronnie to back him up and they did it. Only backing vocals no guitars.

Traffic
Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Donovan

Ok, since there's only one answer (thanks Alex aka HT Man) I'm going to answer the rest

Pink Floyd: Steve Marriott's dog "Seamus" barks on the song "Seamus" on Pink Floyd's "Meddle" album and in the video "Live at Pompeii"; Steve taught the dog to howl the blues. BTW, Roger Waters was dog sitting "Seamus" because Steve was on tour.

Jim Capaldi: Steve appears on the album "One Man Mission"
B. B. King: Steve and other members of The Pie appear on "BB King in London"; Steve adds guitar and harmonica on the track "Alexis Boogie"

After Humble Pie and The Faces disbanded, the Small Faces reunited first for this funny miming of "Lazy Sunday" in 1975, as well as "Itchychoo Park" recorded the very same day:
...then, later, in 1977 they reunited again without Ronnie Lane but with Rick Wills (and Jimmy McCulloch for touring) to record a couple of albums with a delicious mixing of Small Faces and Humble Pie styles.
Thanks worcesterjet200 for uploading the video. I have it in a LAser Disc if I have the time I will uploaded in a better quality as this is from a TV broadcast or something like that.

Correction: I had some doubts about Seamus as I just watched my Laser Disc "Live at Pompeii" after some years. It's not Seamus, it was an Afghan Hound so I made a search and found this @ wikipedia
Marriott's dog Seamus made a notable appearance in the song "Seamus" on Pink Floyd's album Meddle. He can also be heard on the Small Faces song "The Universal", which Marriott recorded on a cassette player in his backyard.
The former track appears on the video Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii, however, the dog featured in the live recording is not the original Seamus. His vocal styling was reprised by a female Afghan Hound named Nobs with similar musical talents, and in the film the title was altered accordingly to read "Mademoiselle Nobs".

More connections with the Rolling Stones
Two of the three singers in this video, Venetta Fields and Clydie King, are the backing vocals on "Tumbling Dice" in the original Exile version (the other credited as "friend" was Merry Clayton)

The only two "Small Faces" survivors!
Apparently it was Steve Marriott and then Ronnie Lane the Small faces formula, but this couple made it big, as you know Mac toured with the Stones and was a member of the New Barbarians with Keith and Ronnie Wood and Kenny was the drummer replacing Keith Moon with The Who.
Mick used to introduce Mac as "Mac from the Small Faces"

Well, this thread is for Small Faces and not Faces but since they are competely related, here you go!
Well close your breath and hold your eyes,
Turn the corner of surprise,
And there you are.
Well our lives are run by ego freaks,
A walking book of rules he seeks
To keep you in your pigeon hole
Bash you if your soul steps out of line

Ok, tonight post is in fact a re-post of my broadcast, and now it's very easy to download as I uploaded it to our website (rocksoff.org in case you don't know LOL)
The webradio program was about Humble Pie LIVE ONLY; but we arrived late and I brought the music so the engineer aired a song from the archives, he had no Humble Pie so instead we started with the Small Faces
We were exhausted and it's notorious in our voices at the beginning of the program
LAZY SUNDAY (Small Faces) This was the only studio track and it was included as explained above, we arrived late it was intended for a live version of “30 Days In The Hole” so this is here because a big fuck up on "me" part but cool as a warm up track before the high power electricity provided by the Pie on stage!!
UP OUR SLEEVES (May 6, 1973 Winterland, San Francisco, CA)
FOUR DAY CREEP (December 1973 last show of this tour, Philadelphia)
ROLLING STONE (Muddy Waters) – Since the Rolling Stones have not played this song live in almost 45 years here’s a sample for ya. The song is more than 16 min long so here’s some minutes (Part 1) (Fillmore East, NYC 1970)
ROAD RUNNER (Green’s Playhouse Glasgow 1972)
I DON’T NEED NO DOCTOR (Fillmore East, NYC 1970)
WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT – (Annie’s Club – Cincinnati, 1983 Last Humble Pie tour) This is also a rare recording as Humble Pie never played Small Faces songs live until this tour)
As you may know, Steve Marriott was one of the candidates to replace Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones, by coincidence the one who won and became a Rolling Stone was the one who partially replaced him in the Small Faces, Ronnie Wood. Steve was replaced by two musicians Rod Stewart and Ron Wood
Since they were taller than the other members they changed the name later to The Faces, the original members were 5' 5" (1.65 m) while Rod and Ron 5' 10" (1.78 m) and also because it was another band, with a new sound, without Steve it caouldn't be named the same.
When Steve formed Humble Pie Brian Jones asked Steve Marriott to join the embrionic Humble Pie and Steve accepted the proposal, agreed Brian's offer to join' the band but a few days later he passed away.
"It was the press who dished out such tags and it was the press who remained blissfully unaware that Brian Jones had nearly joined the band"
Wow I can't imagine a band with Steve and Brian don't care about the other members but Steve and Brian in the same band would have been explosive! It was a supergroup with Steve, Peter, Greg and Shirley but with Brian it would be incredible!
Some pictures of a members of Humble Pie with members of The Rolling Stones
