The High Numbers (pre-The Who) - I'm the Face/Zoot Suit

[ificandream]

The first single by The Who, then known as The High Numbers. It was made for a mod audience in the UK, but didn't make the charts. It is, however, a rough idea of what would come later.

1. The mod band "The Small Faces"

was another band who used the mod term "a face". They were playing with The Who at shows a lot at the time. They spent a small fortune on up to date mod clothes.

"and a "Face" was somebody special; more than just a snappy dresser, he was someone in Mod circles as a leader, someone to look up to. A Face had the sharpest clothes, the best records and always was seen with the prettiest girl on his arm."
