It would go on to sit for six weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. charts, but released on this date fifty years ago is the Small Faces' Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake LP.
In its initial release, the album was packaged in a mock tobacco tin (pipers everywhere should get the joke) that literally was a circular metal container with oversize folded paper as one finds in a pipe tobacco tin. It proved to be too expensive and impractical, so later releases were packaged in conventional cardboard album covers. A compact disc re-issue also was marketed in a mock Ogdens tin.
It was the Small Faces concept album, telling the fairy tale of a man who sees the half moon, and goes searching for its missing half.
