I bought this record ten days ago. I have listened to it at least once every day since. I was blown away, it's every bit as good as any Beatles, Who, or Rolling Stones album; actually it's probably better. It climbed its way into my top 11 albums of all time list, along with such gems as: "The Village Green Preservation Society" by The Kinks, "London Calling" by The Clash, and "Revolver" by The Beatles.

Needless to say I bought several other Small Faces albums since. I recommend "From the Beginning" and "Small Faces."

This review is from: Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (Audio CD)

I know that my meager descriptions couldn't possibly do this album justice. Critics have often compared "Ogden" with "Sgt. Pepper," and the comparison is apt. But "Ogden" is at once more whimsical and more satisfying musically. The second half is slightly marred by a narrated story between the songs, but the accent is so thick that it just sounds like English background noise. The rest is the Small Faces' great British mod/R&B taken to musical territory that most bands only dreamed of. Only the Beatles, Traffic, and Procol Harum have made albums in the same league.

"Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" is, quite simply, the greatest rock masterpiece that no one has ever heard of. If you like psychedelia, 60's rock, the British Invasion, progressive rock, etc., please - PLEASE - buy this album.
