comment |
Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album by The Small Faces, released in 1968. This album has become one of the seminal works of Psychedelic Rock, breaking new ground with the innovative, if impractical, circular sleeve and in turning the whole of the second side to a whimsical Fairy Tale with spoken narrative interspersed with song, telling the tale of Happiness Stan and his search for the missing half of the moon. The band originally approached Spike Milligan to speak the narrative but when he turned them down they turned to the veteran radio entertainer "Professor" Stanley Unwin whose trade mark was Unwinese, or "Basic Engly Twenty Fido", a surreal and mangled form of English inspired by Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. The first side is a mixture of hard rocking, Music Hall and East End pub knees-up.It is also their final studio album before the band's break-up in early 1969, and is their final studio album to feature Ronnie Lane. The band would release a further two album in a late-70's reunion, although these are often left out of the band's discography. |

Packaged as Other Medium: The album was originally packaged in a circular metal container like a very large tobacco tin. When this proved Awesome, but Impractical the packaging was was changed to a circular cardboard gatefold sleeve. A limited number of the CD version was sold in metal tins. |

Shout-Out: To Greek mythology via an operetta by Jacques Offenbach ("Orpheus in the Underworld") in the inimitable style of Stanley Unwin To Listen With Mother, a BBC radio show for small children in the 50s and 60s which always began the story with "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin". Stanley Unwin again. |
