"Afterglow (Of Your Love)" is the unofficial final single released in 1969 by the English R&B group the Small Faces the song managed to reach #36 in the UK Singles Charts.

In March 1969 the Small Faces officially broke up, with Steve Marriott going on to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton and Greg Ridley.

Andrew Loog Oldham almost immediately released an unofficial final song by the group called "Afterglow (Of Your Love)" an R&B ballad, with the contrasting rock sounding B-side "Wham Bam Thank You Mam".

The band never publicised the single and so it only managed to reach #36 in the UK charts. The following November Immediate released a final unofficial album entitled The Autumn Stone it included many of their hits, including unreleased material and three live tracks recorded at Newcastle City Hall.[1]

"Afterglow" was recorded at Olympic Studios, London.

Quiet Riot covered the song on their second album, 1978's Quiet Riot II.
