78 in the Shade is the fifth and final studio album by Small Faces, and the second during their reunion. It was released on the Atlantic label in 1978 and re-issued in 2005 on Wounded Bird. The album was created during the brief re-union of the band in the 1970s. The follow-up to the reunion album Playmates, 78, like its predecessor, was not successful and the band broke up soon afterwards. Mainstream music in Britain was rapidly changing direction, punk rock having been established around this time.[2]

Leer másGuitarist Jimmy McCulloch briefly joined this line-up after leaving Wings.[3] When McCulloch phoned Paul McCartney, who had found him increasingly difficult to work with, to announce he was joining Marriott, McCartney reportedly said "I was a little put out at first, but, well, what can you say to that?"[4] McCulloch`s tenure with the band lasted only for a few months in late 1977. 78 in the Shade was his only album with the band.[5][6]
Reception
78 in the Shade generally gained lukewarm to negative reviews. Allmusic gave the album a review of 2 stars out of five.[7]
The album was reissued as part of “The Complete Atlantic Collection” with the previous album “Playmates” and a single on Wounded Bird in 2021. [8]
