Description
Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album, and only concept album by the English rock band Small Faces. Released on 24 May 1968, the LP peaked at number one on the UK Album Charts on 29 June, where it remained for a total of six weeks. It ultimately became the group's final studio album during their original incarnation (and the last album to contain solely new material until the release of reunion album Playmates in 1977). The album title and distinctive packaging design was a parody of Ogden's Nut-brown Flake, a brand of tinned loose tobacco that was produced in Liverpool from 1899 onwards by Thomas Ogden.

This oft-celebrated album comes off as more of a vanity project to these ears. At this point, the group was essentially a studio project, anyway. Mixing the group's material with comedian Stanley Unwin's monologues (the "Happiness Stan" story on the second side) seemed excessive enough on its' own, but even the music itself felt jittery, unfocused, and insulated from the sounds cut on the first two albums. Odgens', in this respect, stands apart from the rest of the Small Faces catalog.
