The Small Faces, There Are But Four Small Faces. Album Re-Issue Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is a task that not even the once King of Ephyra would have considered a viable option in return for rolling a large, round stone ball up a hill and trying to balance it before it fell down the other side and Sisyphus smacked his head in frustration; such punishment is cruel, unusual and points the way to the unwary and the innocent to be aware.

The Small Faces, Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake. 2012 Reissue.

L.S. Media Rating *****

Arguably, 1968 was a fantastic year for music. With artists such as Aretha Franklin and her album Lady Soul, Moody Blues and their opus of In Search of the Lost Chord, Pink Floyd’s A Saucerful of Secrets and Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World all making a deep impact onto the record buying publics purse strings that year, surely the stand out album was Britain’s premier Psychedelic Rock band, The Small Faces and their album Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake.
