THE SMALL FACES :: Ogden’s Nutgone Flake [Triple Deluxe Edition] : BUTTERBOY

OGDEN’S NUTGONE FLAKE - THE SMALL FACES TRIPLE DELUXE _ Butterboy

Butterboy excels this morning and has posted this deluxe version of a classic album. For many years in my Top Three albums of all time, never failing to make me smile and still would be in my top 30 if not top 10 of all time. If you don’t have it I really don’t know where you’ve been!

Triple deluxe too!

THE RECONSTRUCTOR :: 1862 - THE SMALL FACES |

The Small Faces - 1862 - The Reconstructor

Now this is really interesting. The Reconstructor has made an attempt at The Small Faces sequel album to the classic psychedelic masterpiece Ogdens Nut Gone Flake their concept album of 1968 beloved of fans worldwide. The Reconstructor’s notes here are indispensable and really worth checking out.

An amalgam of three albums The Autumn Stone, As Safe as Yesterday Is, with an additional track purloined from Who Came First, this final album would never see the light of day and by the following year Stevie had gone to search a more hard rocking sound and the rest were signing up to become The Faces with Rod Stewart on lead vocals.
