Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of the 1968 Small Faces psychedelic classic. Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album and first concept album by the English rock band Small Faces. Released on 24 May 1968, the LP peaked at #1 on the UK Album Charts on 29 June, where it remained for a total of six weeks. Side one of the album is a mix of early heavy rock, with Song of a Baker; psychedelic cockney knees-up songs Lazy Sunday and Rene, the opening instrumental title track (which resembles their second single I've Got Mine, which was a flop in 1965), and the soul-influenced ballad Afterglow. Side two is based on an original fairy tale about a boy called Happiness Stan, narrated in his unique Unwinese gobbledygook by Stanley Unwin, who picked up modern slang from the band and incorporated it into the surreal narrative. Because of the album's complexities, it was never performed live.
