An all-time classic, uncut, now with 14 bonus tracks. One of Britain's most influential bands of the Sixties and a major influence on the new wave of Britpop bands, the Small Faces hit their creative and commercial highpoint with their psychedelic concept album Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake.
A bona fide classic of the late Sixties it was released on the famous Immediate label in the summer of 1968 it went straight to the number one spot in the UK album chart and remained there for six weeks.
A heady blend of cockney music hall humour, tough rock numbers, blues and psychedelia, it spawned two of the group’s biggest hit singles in Afterglow (Of Your Love) and Lazy Sunday. The six tracks which made up side two of the original LP are introduced by Stanley Unwin, one of Britain’s most popular comedians of the day renowned for his inventive use of English.
The fourteen bonus tracks are other highlights from the group’s time with Immediate Records from 1967 to 1969. As well as hit singles such as Itchycoo Park, Here Come The Nice and The Universal, these include live recordings of Tin Soldier and their 1966 Decca number one single All Or Nothing, plus their memorable duet with label mate P.P. Arnold.
