This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
THE ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1968.
THE BACK STORY: Fronted by singer-guitarist Steve Marriott and featuring Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones, The Small Faces evolved from a British Invasion Mod outfit into psychedelic rockers (and eventually into the Rod Stewart / Ronnie Wood-led Faces, but that’s another story). Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake was the original lineup’s magnum opus and final album, a high-concept set of free-flowing tunes, theatrical presentation and knob-twiddling production.
THE GOODIES: Afterglow (Of Your Love) and Song Of A Baker are classic ’60s psychedelia, but the jaunty kitchen-sink comedy of Lazy Sunday was a left-field hit.
THE EXTRAS: This edition comes with five poor-quality live cuts (including a powerful version of Tin Soldier), along with the studio cut The Autumn Stone.
