Small Faces was an English rock band from East London, formed in 1965 by Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones, and Jimmy Winston. Ian McLagan later replaced Winston as the keyboardist. Influenced by American rhythm & blues, they became one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s. With hit songs like "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", "Tin Soldier", and their concept album "Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake", they evolved into one of the UK’s most successful psychedelic acts before disbanding in 1969. They reunited in 1975 with some line-up changes until 1978.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Presented here on limited edition gold vinyl, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album, and only concept album by the Small Faces. Originally released in May 1968, the LP peaked at number one on the UK Album Charts the following month, where it remained for six weeks and is the Small Faces' best-known and most successful album. Including the hit tracks ‘Lazy Sunday’, ‘Ogdens Nut Gone Flake’ and ‘Rene’, side two of the LP is based on an original fairy tale concept about a boy called Happiness Stan - six songs interlinked with narration provided by comic performer Stanley Unwin in his unique, nonsensical private language. It ultimately became the group's final studio album during their original incarnation. The album title and distinctive packaging design was a parody of Ogden's Nut-brown Flake, a brand of tinned loose tobacco that was produced in Liverpool from 1899 onwards by Thomas Ogden.
