There was no shortage of good psychedelic albums emerging from England in 1967-1968,
but Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is special even within their ranks.
The Small Faces had already shown a surprising adaptability to psychedelia with the single "Itchycoo Park"
and much of their other 1967 output, but Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake pretty much ripped the envelope.
British bands had an unusual approach to psychedelia from the get-go, often preferring to assume
different musical "personae" on their albums, either feigning actual "roles" in the context
of a variety show (as on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album),
or simply as storytellers in the manner of the Pretty Things on S.F. Sorrow,
or actor/performers as on the Who's Tommy.
The Small Faces tried a little bit of all of these approaches on Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake,
but they never softened their sound. Side one's material, in particular, would not have
been out of place on any other Small Faces release. Overall, this was the ballsiest-sounding piece
of full-length psychedelia to come out of England, and it rode the number one spot on the U.K. charts
for six weeks in 1968, though not without some controversy surrounding advertisements
by Immediate Records that parodied the Lord's Prayer..(AllMusic)
