When "I Can`t Make It" was released in 1967, Small Faces had acrimoniously left the management of Don Arden and were signed to Andrew Loog Oldham`s Immediate label. However, due to contractual obligations, Decca released the song, and Immediate agreed to produce and license the song back to them until the issue was resolved.[2] The band refused to promote the single and as a direct result, the song only managed to climb to No. 26 in the charts.[3] The BBC also initially banned the song for the dubious sounding lyrics which they thought were of a sexual nature; the lyrics are actually ambiguous and it is left to the listener to decide their true meaning.[3]
The B-side, "Just Passing", is a short whimsical song only a minute long and is in the style of The Beach Boys song, "You Still Believe in Me".
In April 1967, Small Faces performed a live version of "I Can`t Make It" on the well-known British television show, Morecambe and Wise, as well as their UK number-one single, "All or Nothing". The recording is notable for the particularly strong live vocal performance by Marriott. The episode was transmitted six months later.[4]
The song can be found on side two of the group`s 1969 posthumous double-album The Autumn Stone. "I Can`t Make It" and "Just Passing" were also released as bonus tracks on the deluxe editions of From the Beginning in 2012.[5] Furthermore, stereo mixes of both tracks are included on the deluxe editions of the band`s 1967 eponymous album.[6]
