Notes
Original Santa Maria Pressing variant of this Terre Haute press by same catalog #.

Variant gatefold from this Santa Maria version with "small faces" mid cover.

Originally released by the record company insisting the band retain their more familiar name, "Small Faces."
Subsequent releases showed the band's new branding as simply "Faces."

Title on spine, "First Step," comes from the 'guitar lesson' book Ron Wood is holding on front cover, "First Step."
Title on center labels reads "The First Step"
