I believe ALO signed the Small Faces from Don Arden who was one of the biggest crooks in the entertainment industry (father of Sharon Osborne) and who used some menacing methods regarding "looking after his clients interests". Wouldn't surprise me if he isn't scarred by that experience....both physically and mentally!
>From wikipedia "Arden's business methods In 1966, Arden and a squad of 'minders' turned up at impresario Robert Stigwood's office to 'teach him a lesson' for daring to discuss a change of management with Small Faces.This became one of the most notorious incidents from the 1960s British pop business. Arden reportedly threatened to throw Stigwood out of the window if he ever interfered with his business again" On Nov 10, 6:01�pm, bobby cormier <[email protected]> wrote: > "here come the nice"! my teen dream anthem. of course i was on pills. > ALO refuses to say anything about the small faces to me, so, after > several queries, i dropped it. don't know why to this day. > > On Oct 20, 4:02 pm, t bedford <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Even tho' you & I are only 6 years apart, our dad's are approx. 13 - > > 14 years apart.
