Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake

Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is a 1968 Small Faces album that mixes psychedelic rock and pop with the group's mod R and B roots, combining tight vocal harmonies, piano and organ textures, acoustic guitars and playful studio effects. The record is notable for its whimsical, British music hall and vaudeville touches and for a side-long story sequence commonly called Happiness Stan, featuring spoken contributions from comedian Stanley Unwin. Its distinctive circular packaging echoed a tobacco tin and the album showcases the band experimenting with concise pop songs alongside more adventurous, cinematic arrangements.
