Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, the Small Faces' third studio album, came out on Immediate on 24 May 1968, and it's the only time these London mods tried a full concept album. Even the name is a wink: the title and the eye-catching package send up Ogden's Nut-brown Flake, a tin of tobacco made in Liverpool since 1899.
Cut at Olympic Studios, with Ronnie Lane credited as producer, it finds Steve Marriott (guitar, vocals), Lane (bass, vocals), Ian McLagan (keyboards) and Kenney Jones (drums) taking the band's hard-hitting R&B deep into psychedelia without losing the cheek. "Lazy Sunday", the single, is the proof. The record went to number one in the UK and stayed there six weeks, but it turned out to be the original band's last studio album: Marriott walked out in 1969 to form Humble Pie, and the rest carried on as the Faces.
