THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ICONIC 1968 ALBUM CELEBRATED
WITH DELUXE REMASTERED TRIPLE VINYL BOX
SET & DELUXE TRIPLE CD + DVD
HARDBACK BOOK
What happens when Swinging London’s foremost mod quartet
grow their hair, change their clothes, and go psychedelic?
They write an era-defining smash-hit concept album! Ogdens
Nut Gone Flake was originally released by Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate
Records on 24th May 1968 and soon hit the #1 spot where it stayed for six
weeks.
Critically acclaimed and still featuring in albums-you-must-own-polls,
it is by far and away the Small Faces’ best-known and most successful album.
Alongside classic single tracks like ‘Lazy Sunday’ and ‘Afterglow’ plus ‘Song
Of A Baker’ and live favourite ‘Rollin’ Over’, the LP even added a conceptual twist
with the story of "Happiness Stan" and the narrations of Stanley
Unwin on Side 2. Loved also for its award-winning crazy round packaging, the
record represents the band’s finest hour, though soon after its release the
Small Faces were no more, having morphed into The Faces and Humble Pie.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the album has been newly
remastered by Nick Robbins at Soundmastering with the full cooperation of
surviving Small Faces member Kenney Jones. This is the best Ogdens’ has ever sounded!

For the first time ever, both mono and stereo versions of
the album, plus an LP of rare bonus material, will be released together in one

It will also feature a deluxe booklet loaded with material, including indepth
sleeve notes by Small Faces authority and Mojo contributor Mark Paytress,
interviews, rare photos and memorabilia.
