  • I like Ronnie's laughing voice.

  • How cute are they? Too cute I say! Ian hamming it up @ 1:03 and

    Ronnie cracking up, and Ronnie breaking up and then cracking up

    again @ 1:33! I love these guys! LEGENDS, EVERY ONE OF THEM!

  • Best band of the 60s by a mile.. Superb sound and very talented.

  • I used to have this LP until it was stolen n now I cannot get it. Do you believe it

  • 1.09-2.10,when I was 15 and dreaming about being a rock star,what they do in that minute was the way I thought it should be and I hadn't even heard this yet.I was crap and doomed to failure yet these guys had everything and lost it all.They could have been true hall of famers and got shafted.Marriot's talent is obvious but my God,how underrated is Ronnie Lane in the grand scheme of things? A horribly undervalued legend.

  • love ronnies lanes shirt and cravat in this plus its a genius tune

  • ahhh.. now this is music for my tortured soul....

  • the 4 douche holes who disliked this don't know what real music is.....arg

  • any1 help me put the album ( ogdens nutgone flake ) together?

  • Found this album in a drop box in a music store in Jackson Michigan for $3.00 .Best money I ever spent !

  • @bru432 that's about what i paid for it back in the 60's

  • they look like their having so much fun :)

  • @MissMopPop I've noted that and this is my first time seeing this-fantastic : )

  • amazing absolutely amazing

  • I love this song!!!

  • this is the dawn of rock n roll, too bad people dont realize it (respect from Turkey)

  • After seen this.. There is absoluetly no doubt that Steve Marriot and Ronnie Lane were geniuses!

  • Great band, if a little bit undisiplined, LSD did make you crazy sometimes, what goes up must come down, we certainly know it in these times.

  • I bet Unwin's grandchildren ended up really fucked in the head after asking gramps for a bedtime story!

  • who remembers pink panthers?

  • This is so cool! I love that it is in colour. And Steve, you are soooo dishy! I LOVE YOU!!

  • I LOVE this man ... his voice is amazing

  • Hooray Small faces are on youtube in a cool way. Happy day toy town newspaper smile!

  • they looked and sang their absolute best here. can't believe a year later or so the band ceased to exist... :/

  • Yes, R.I.P Steve Marriot and Ronnie Lane!!!!! I'd give everything to hear you one more time live together.

    Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,

    and let perpetual light shine upon them.

    A hymn becomes you, O God, in Zion,

    and to you shall a vow be repaid in Jerusalem.

    Hear my prayer;

    to you shall all flesh come.

  • Thanks you are nearly a life saver. Do you have the whole story of happiness Stan? If so, could you please put it all in sequence? Thanks again. Tossdart. :D

  • @Tossdart

    Hi, I've got it, check my uploads out. It's named Ogdens' - part 1, 2 and 3

  • I'm with you MrElbino, One of my favorites. As a 58 yr. old American this album is a classic and Marriott rocks. Lucky to have seen him in 71 with Humble Pie.

  • please share the love to this record i love it to

  • haha, that smile at 1:02 :D

  • 1.00, yeah!

  • This song sums up everything that was great solidly in the whole epoch in one well refined tune, apart from the likes of the beatles, stones and other the expermintation on the part of Small faces was more than just fooling around, the orchestration the richness and the subtility and the funkiness of the tune both a fairy tale and funk fest a baroque pop cross over and a pocket symphony deluxe. they got it all together, and it still sounds great today, it is more than a psycadelic curiousity

  • love this, ian's keys part is excellent!

  • The whole Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake album is just brilliant. I loved it 40 some years ago and love it today.

  • @MrElbino And I just bought it the other day! What a discovery!

  • Deborah Morgan from Dexter? sorry Steve Marriot

  • Comment removed

  • one of the albums that changed my life!

  • for such a little chap he had a fucking big voice.

  • Much humblioso gratitudinal for the postol of this amazdidly vidleothombom.

  • i'm not advocating drug use, but this song is amazing on acid....and don't say anything sounds good on acid, cause your wrong.....britney spears sounds horrible on acid, and sober of course

  • Dear Holly,

    I hope your birthday is the happiest :-)

    ~Thomas~

  • Although credits say Marriott/Lane, this is Steve's song. Rollin' Over came from a jam that they did in the studio - thank you Glyn Johns for pressing a rec. button ;) , otherwise we wouldn't have had this gem. Hungry Intruder is Ronnie's. The Journey came from Ronnie's idea too. Mad John is Steve's song.

    Happy Days Toy Town- that was mainly Mac's but with contribution of Ronnie and Steve too.

  • One of the first "concept" albums of the era. Coming down after a night of acid heavies, fire one up and put on Ogden's with a speaker by each ear and "close my eyes and drift away ..." to a very nice place. Love the big boom bass and the guitar on Renee' - nobody, not even Hendrix did that.

  • "are you sitting 2 fold cumfy on your botty"

  • AH YES........The geat Professor Stanley Unwin..........the inventor of the language "Unwinese".

  • This song is so cool. Steve Marriott was a genious!

  • This videotyto ablode rates 5 Star and danglies!

  • they r the greatest so says maya mod

  • Great vid,released in U.K a week on Monday on dvd cant wait!

  • hi delboy8000, what's the DVD called? i can't seem to find it... thanks...

  • the music is awesome, however.

    2:14 onwards is just win, 100% win

  • Awesome video, a lot of their stuff went under the radar of the pop parade. Really creative stuff, maybe too progressive for the time.

  • Fabulous! and so right there can NEVER be another Steve Marriott...

    The Small Faces would be Gigantic today I loved these guys and still do, and I wish Steve had still been with us, God Bless x

  • The most underrated, creative, musical, positive, psychedelic, etc etc writers of the late 60's - they just hit the nail on the Farckin' Head!!!!!

  • Minute 1:12 - 1:34, the melody remember the Genesis song, Seven Stones from Nursery Cryme (1971)

  • MARRIOTT - the REAL DEAL

    We'll not get another one like him :'(

    one of a kind, so underestimated that it is ridiculous and it depresses me a lot.

  • agreed

  • Marriott-Lane were definately underrated as songwriters. Though they didn't write a lot of good songs (quite a few fillers on albums - apart from ONGF), they did write a few great songs, as did Ronnie Lane when he went solo !

  • I used to think Sgt pepper or Rubber Soul were the best albums of the sixties,til I found Ogdens.I found about Marriott in reverse order.( i liked HP,and then found SFs as a result of that.)How in the hell did i go 30 yrs without ever findig this?.......US fm radio CRAP,and the billboard charts,thats how.If it makes the charts in the states ,it sucks.

  • Isn't it fantastic finding a really great record that you've missed until you finally discover it. It doesn't matter if you're "late", only that you eventually find it.

    I guess you've discovered "Odyssey and Oracle" and "The Village Green Preservation Society"? Best 60s albums, while rock was still young and innocent and didn't take itself too seriously, before it became "rock" and became manipulated by "hip" corporate morons and geared towards chart suck-sess.

  • Well put.

  • There doesn't have to be a 'best' album, because 'best' is about opinion. To Kylie Minogue fans, her album is the best !  I bought ONGF the day it came out. Lets just say its up there as a great album of the 60's, but there are so many others you could put in that category from the

    60's.

  • ogdens nutgone flake ...better than the beatles!

  • Disagree, ONGF was THEIR attempt to be the Beatles. It was their Sgt Pepper. I love Ogdens Nut Gone Flake, but unless you were there when Pepper came out, it is impossible to understand the impact Sgt Pepper made. Its not possible in hindsight. ONGF was only possible because of Pepper.

  • OGNF is imo when the Small Faces went down... their 45s is where's it's at.

  • Its a fine album, and their 45's were great too, I agree.

  • ogdens nut gone flake was a bloody masterpiece.....in my opinion its one of the best albums of all time. i know you might not agree with me on this but i love everything on it.

  • certainly better than sgt peppers

  • I do agree with you

  • @ipolson I was there - I was 18 in 1967. You're right about the tremendous impact of "Sgt. Pepper," but I still loved "ONGF" in a way I never loved anything the Beatles did. Pete Townshend, with his own claim (or two) to concept album greatness, once called "Ogden's" the best concept album ever, and I agree. Each to his own!

  • @Whofan1000: Of course, its all about opinions. I have an interview with Ian McLagan where he says that it was their attempt at a 'Sgt Pepper'. But Sgt Pepper is not a 'concept' album . As JL said, none of the tracks are connected story/theme wise. Apart from the reprise at the end, there is no link. In fact ONGF is not really a 'concept album' either. Yes, side 2 is Ronnie's story of Stan, but Side 1 is totally unrelated. Good old Pete, best mates with Ronnie Lane, no bias there then !!

  • @Whofan1000: Pete Townsend 'Concept album greatness' ? Not an opinion shared in great numbers apparantly. Did you know that The Who never had a number 1 single in the UK and only one number 1 album (Who's Next) in their entire career ? Like you say, Opinions.

  • @ipolson Hi. By Pete's "concept album greatness," I meant "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia." I don't think greatness has anything to do with having number 1 singles or albums, but you're right about Pete's bias and you're right that technically neither SP nor ONGF are concept albums in the strictest sense. BTW, another one of my favorite concept albums - again, using the term loosely, since the songs do tell a continuous story albeit one written for a British TV show - is "Arthur," by the Kinks.

  • @Whofan1000: I agree that sales are not everything. Personally, with regard to The Who, I prefer the earlier stuff myself , 'I Can't Explain' , 'I Can See For Miles' etc. Agree about the Kinks, very creative songwriter Mr Davies. Hey, its all good stuff !

  • Never got the recognition they deserved R.I.P Steve Marriot and Ronnie Lane

  • @uioer I Agree Totally

  • @uioer Worse - they never got the money either!

  • fucking mint band....... nuff said!!!

  • I really should be doing something different but I can't stop watching Small Faces videos, damn ;)

  • such a great band ... still influential today.

    rip Steve (2009-04-20)

  • 1:09 ---> GOOSEPIMPLES!!!!! This is SOOO musically!

  • THE Vocalist - Steve Marriott

    THE Musos - Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagen

    THE Drummist - Kenny Jones

  • stunning footage,when the organ comes in it blows my mind amazing psych thanks for posting

  • I love!

  • Superior talent and material that just seems to get better with each new play.

  • aww ronnie at 1:36 so cute =0)

  • I envy anyone who grew up in the late 60's listening to these guys....

  • I was 17 when I saw them awsome

  • Did they perform this whole album on this TV show? if so how can i get the whole thing?

  • My god, I so freaking love Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.

    It shocks me of how underrated the band still are even today, they're freaking awesome! 8D

  • yeah your right but look at the bands now bowing at the feet of paul weller and all weller wanted to be as a kid was one of the small faces and so their legacy is secure

  • Love this song-sounds so much like early Genesis - a fairy tale/folk/fable feel to it. -Amanda

    :)

  • what a great song! Dont forget steve!!!!

  • just fantastic. what a wonderful body of work these guys produced in a relatively short period of time. their B-sides would have made another band famous.

  • steve marriott the original mr cool... nuff said!!

  • Where's the rest of it?

  • Marriott has my heart <3

  • Genesis must have listened to the Small Faces!

  • I'm sure they did it!

  • ogdens nut gone flake was a complete masterpiece

  • @PanzerDivisionLaver Agreed !!

  • I love the part from 1:07 - 01:35.. So powerful.. And that bass is mighty fine! :D

  • tomitstube, Mac (Ian McLagan) was indeed barred from entering the US, but after the Lennon incident he was allowed in and now lives and plays in Austin. He is a wonderful person, genuinely kind. His band is the Bump Band, and he still LOVES to make music. He's completely fabulous.

    He usually plays happy hour on Thursday nights at the Lucky Lounge, but they're on tour in England in July and August. Hope they're back for their regular Thursday residency soon!

  • Ronnie :D Cutiiie!

  • Wow, I had no idea this exsisted. It's like finding the missing link. Between the Beatles and Led Zepplin. I read this band wasn't allowed in the US cause the keyboard player had been busted for pot in the UK. Crazy if true. What a treat this is. Is Marriott, Small Faces or Humble Pie in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Just Curious. They have to be, right?

  • it is so sad,losing marriot,lane,lennon,marley,ect­,,I think somehow the short lifes last longer if that doesnt sound mad,keith moon,...all these people are not gone,they are right amongst us,thank you..,you all help me with your music..,daily

  • Why are so many of the bands or individuals I love so marred by tragedy? Has Ronnie got MS and did Steve Marriott die in a house fire? They are in ignorant bliss here..young, carefree and now their lives ..so terribly sad, it makes me want to cry..

  • Ronnie did have MS and sadly he died about 10 or 11 years ago. He was bloody great, they both were!

  • I thought so. Thanks for that. Isn't life cruel? As Harrison said - "All things Must Pass'.

  • Greaty sounds...

    but the dialogue bores me to tears.

  • myztikt - I agree with what you say 100%+. There are warehouses worth of footage not publicly available, it'll be too late after we're all dead to bring it out!! I've often wondered exactly what it is they're waiting for. Just as an example; how is it they managed to pull the complete Hendrix set from Woodstock and put it out, but nothing even on the horizon for the Woodstock sets of The Who, Ten Years After, Santana, Joe Cocker? I could quote many many more, but you get the picture!!

  • If I may respond without seeming too negative. Hendrix' family has been far more interested in finacially prospering from his musical coattails than the groups you mentioned. It would be awesome to get those sets on a DVD, though.

  • He laughs the second time because he completely bollocks up his harmony.

  • ronnie is high but what a man

  • RONNIE laughing his tits off,great ...anyone know what show this was from?

    ronnie definatly dropped a tab or 2 b4 the show ,madness lol

  • Colour Me Pop

  • Look at 1:03 and 1:35 ronnie laughs and blows his vocal which you can hear ...It's so good and that no one believe its live..

    Thats how good they were.

  • There are two places where Ronnie laughs and that is LIVE LIVE LIVE

  • Your right..The laugh proves it is live......

  • This is a live recording and it blows away most live bands today.....

  • the story is told slightly different from the lp

  • This is where Sparks got it from, right?

  • I would love to get this on dvd.

  • Yeah, nice sentiment. Too bad the greedy corporate pricks who run the labels (& own 'rights' to this recording) are too busy suing their fans for downloading 'their' property. They would be much better served using that legal might to obtain the permissions to release this stuff legitimately, so we could purchase a pristine DVD. But no, but that would make too much sense. Instead, I'll continue to download for free, & re-upload what they censure, since they're a bunch of nearsighted a**holes.

  • so is ogdens nut gone flake totally available on dvd then? seems theres a few colour 'mimed' performances on here?

    superb stuff

  • This isn't mimed, it's a live recording. The laugh from Ronnie Lane just before the heavy bit kicks in isn't on the LP. Also, Stanley Unwin's storytelling is different to that on the LP.

  • Superior talent and material that just seems to get better with each new play. Wish we had all of Ogden's NutGone Flake here, but savoring what we do have and thanks so much for posting this and the others!

  • the best these guys ever got. Thank God they did this color TV gig on Colour Me Pop. what a document. just pure magic.
