Biography

It's up for debate whether the title of best British Invasion band never to really make it stateside belongs to the Zombies or the Small Faces, but Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston (later replaced by Ian McLagan)--whose band name combines a reference to their short stature with Mod slang for "trendsetter"--certainly enjoy a critical reputation and lasting influence far… Read more in Amazon's The Small Faces Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Albums of All Time, July 24, 2002

Steven R. Seim "Steve Seim" (Beaver Dam, WI United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, September 18, 2002

This review is from: Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (Audio CD)
The title of this album "ogden's nut gone flake" is a play on words and the original packaging of the 1968 vinyl release was circular depicting a pipe tobacco tin of the era. Perhaps a reference to whacky Tabacky after all it was 1968 at the height of Hippy Power. The narrative by the commedian Stanley Unwin who saddly passed away in January 2000 is a classic. Stanley Unwin invented a language called Unwinese and got bit parts in films such as Chitty Chitty bang bang in 1968 and a carry on movie. The narrative between the tracks on side two is hillarious and in keeping with the nut gone theme as Stanley appears to be completely off his nut. Stanley Unwin tells the story of our hero who on discovering half the moon is missing goes off in search of it. The songs tell the story quite well. Sgt Peppers was a movie that made the tracks on that album appear to be a story but they were really unconnected. This album appears to be more of a rock opera like Tommy as the theme continues. As for the music on the Album there are some classics like Lazy Sunday afternoon which obviously influenced bands like Blur to produce Park Life. Well worth the money.
