The Small Faces - Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake

Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake is a well known instrumental by British R&B band The Small Faces. It was the first and title track to the 1968 concept album Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake. The album became a number one hit in the UK and would stay there for a total of six weeks. The title and the design of the distinctive packaging was a parody of Ogdens’ Nut-brown Flake, a brand of tobacco which was produced in Liverpool from 1899. The album is considered by many to be a masterpiece and is often said to have a very British feel to it. Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake was included in the 2005 Essential Collection as track 18 disc 1.
