Songs include the Small Faces' "I've Got Mine," "It's Too Late," "Come On Children" and "Don't Stop What You're Doing" and The Chantelles' "I Think of You" and "Please Don't Kiss Me."

I'm not sure if the Chantelles, Kiki Dee and the Small Faces had the same record company, but you could easily be forgiven for thinking so as they feature substantially amongst this otherwise rather poor diamond heist caper with William Lucas as "Maj. Fairclough" who ropes the heavily indebted Kenneth Cope ("Benson") who manages the Small Faces, into a diamond smuggling racket using the famous "Big L" pirate radio…
