I can offer as some evidence that the Small Faces output from 1967 has some very similar qualities to the Stones output from the same year.

I was gonna make a comment. But no, I think not. Upon further reflection, you know? I’ll keep it polite. But I could say a thing or two. But I won’t though. Not tonight I won’t. But I could though. But no. Not going there. Can’t describe the scene, Its all mesmerized all that inside of me … ‘Dead Flowers’
It's taken for granted that "Jumping Jack Flash" and Beggars Banquet, with Jimmy Miller's help, are the beginning of a new phase. Seems obvious. But it could be argued that it was more transitional than revolutionary. Brian's presence is still felt. "Street Fighting Man" is a '67 hangover. "Jigsaw Puzzle" is '66 Dylan. "Parachute Woman" is a bit garage. The rootsier stuff is more up-to-date, which is to say trendy in its own way, but some of the old adventure survives. All of which is to say, I guess, that as a fan of '66-'67 Stones, I think Banquet is the best of both worlds.

A 2-LP deluxe version of Aftermath seems like such a no-brainer for its 50th Anniversary that I'm surprised that they didn't bother. It seems like that period may well have been the most fecund in the band's history. '66-67 was, if not the greatest period in Stones history, was certainly its most adventurous. I personally think that the Stones did the psychedelic-progressive-pop thing at least as well as the Yardbirds and Pink Floyd, and maybe even better.
