RE LISTED DUE TO TIME WASTER.
This is an auction for a rare LP from The Small Faces; Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.
This LP is collectors item and has a unusual fold out round album cover ( see photos ) in extremely good condition. There are no tears or visible scratches , the cover folds out beautifully.
The record itself has not been played to my knowledge, I acquired this album 30 years ago and has been stored away carefully ever since. Looking at the record itself, to my eye it has no visible scratches and is not warped. I would say that it was in near mint condition.
The following information has been taken from Wikipedia.
Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (1968)[edit]
At home in England, their career reached an all-time high after the release of their classic psychedelia-influenced album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake on 24 May 1968.[41] It is widely regarded as a classic album, and featured an innovative round cover, the first of its kind, designed to resemble an antique tobacco tin. It stayed at No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart for six weeks, but reached only No. 159 in the US.[41][42]
The two-act concept album consisted of six original songs on side one and a whimsical psychedelic fairy tale on side two relating the adventures of "Happiness Stan" and his need to find out where the moon went when it waned. It was narrated by Stanley Unwin, after original plans to have Spike Milligan narrate the album went awry when he turned them down.[41][43]
Critics raved, and the album sold well, but the band were confronted by the practical problem that they had created a studio masterpiece which was virtually impossible to recreate on the road. Ogdens' was performed as a whole just once, and memorably, live in the studio on the BBC television programme Colour Me Pop.[43]htest selection ogdens special nuts gone celebrated flake tobacco, vinyl very good condition, a great find for the right price.
