Description

The Beatles had Sgt Peppers, The Who had Tommy and Quadrophenia, and The Small Faces had Ogden's!

Split into two distinct sides, this classic 1968 album by the diminutive rock rascals really set them apart from their peers. Side one opens with the title track and then moves swiftly on to Afterglow, a classy and powerful V-sign to those who would cast doubts upon a love. It has Steve Marriott singing at the height of his substantial vocal powers. Song Of A Baker hints at the sort of songs Ronnie Lane would write and sing later, whilst Rene and the unforgettable Lazy Sunday are pure Music Hall - A Knee's Up for the Mod generation!

Side two is where it gets really interesting. Utilising the hilarious gobbledegook of Stanley Unwin, the songs weave the story of Happiness Stan and his unbelievable journey. He encounters strange characters and mad lands, and the album finishes off with a truly exceptional modern nursery rhyme called Happy Days Toy Town.

Throughout the album you are treated to a brand of cheeky exuberance that is sadly missing in most music of today.

This album should be placed on the National Curriculum and the National Health!

If you know what's good for you go get a copy today!!

This album was purchased before 1979 as I was still at school then, so I do not know when it was released. It has the white label, which you can see in the picture. The circular cover is still in one piece and has not fallen apart yet.

The Album is in good condition as is the the outer cover which has aged well. As to the sound of the album playing there are no major scratches on it, but I am sorry I do not know how it sounds because I have not had a turntable a few years now and this album has been stored in a cupboard for a long time.
