Yeah, I wasn't sure about Small Faces since (iirc) the Decca record was compiled/released without their input/permission.
I wasn't completely sure about Humble Pie either, but I just gave the first two a spin, and as admirably heavy as the first one is, Town & Country is so impossibly gorgeous. It's my favorite UK response to the Band's Music From Big Pink (and it's a crowded field).
I like that Immediate years 2cd Humble Pie set. But thought I listened to the 1st disc a lot.
Isn't the cobbled together Small Faces Decca set the From The Beginning one? I thought the Decca s/t was recorded as an lp.

OutKast is another, like Prince, where I think of the jump between albums #1 and #2 as being less dramatic as those between #2 and #3.

Hot Chip
I like most of Hot Chip, but as a whole album, I like the first one best.
Girls Aloud
Undoubtedly, but the stuff on the first album by the lineup that did the second album pointed clearly that way.
Cut Copy
If you mean from I Thought Of Numbers to Bright Like Neon Love, sure. If you mean from Bright Like to Ghost Colours, nah. They just learnt how to sound a bit more like '90s New Order.
Outkast
The first four Outkast albums feel more like a group wanting to do different things each time out, and getting more skilled as they leave their teens, than any significant leap in quality overall from any one album to another. (Underscored by the shift from the first album being all Organized Noize, and the second one being nearly half-and-half.)
