KENNEY JONES’ NICE RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW EDITIONS OF SMALL FACES’ ‘OGDENS’ NUT GONE FLAKE’ IN MARCH 2026

LIMITED EDITION HALF-SPEED 180g VINYL LP FORMAT WILL BE ISSUED IN LAVISH RECREATION OF 1968 ALBUM’S ORIGINAL AWARD-WINNING 5-PANEL ROUND FOLD-OUT SLEEVE

REMASTERED 3CD FORMAT FEATURES MONO & STEREO MIXES PLUS THIRD CD OF RARITIES & OUTTAKES FROM KENNEY JONES’ PERSONAL TAPE ARCHIVE

‘Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake’ is the Small Faces most successful LP and one of the most iconic albums of all time. A UK No.1 for 6 weeks, it featured hit singles ‘Lazy Sunday’ and ‘Afterglow Of Your Love’ plus classic tracks ‘Rollin’ Over’ and ‘Song Of A Baker.’ The LP added a conceptual twist with side two’s story of ‘Happiness Stan and his quest for the missing half of the moon, narrated by Stanley Unwin.

The album celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018 with 3LP and 4CD/DVD box-set editions which quickly sold out in the UK, with very few copies available in America and around the world.

Now, for the first time since 1968, ‘Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake’ will be released worldwide on 6th March 2026 via Kenney Jones and manager Nigel Adams’ Nice Records, a new label dedicated to artist-led releases, as a limited edition facsimile round sleeve 1LP cut at half-speed by Henry Rudkins at AIR Studios from Nick Robbins’ 2018 master of the original mono mix, transferred from the only surviving analogue master tape from Trident Studios. Cutting at half-speed has given the mono LP a better dynamic range plus more defined and accurate sound with extended low frequency and smooth high frequency response.

‘Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake’ was originally recorded during 1967 and 1968 with Glyn Johns at Olympic, Trident and Pye studios. The new 3CD edition gives a glimpse into those recording sessions by including rare material from surviving Small Faces member Kenney Jones’ personal tape archive.

The facsimile LP edition includes a lavish replica of the original 5-panel fold-out round card album sleeve from 1968, with award-winning artwork and design by Nick Tweddell, Mick Swan and Pete Brown plus Gered Mankowitz’s photos, a 4-panel insert reproducing the master tape box on the front plus illustrated sleeve notes by Small Faces authority Mark Paytress and an introduction by Kenney Jones. The 180-gram heavyweight vinyl LP also boasts facsimile Immediate Records labels and comes in a poly-lined inner, all housed in a protective 350-gsm die-cut sleeve with custom hype-sticker.

The new 3CD format includes a 32-page fully illustrated booklet with discs held in protective card inner-sleeves in a wide-spine outer sleeve.

Both formats are available for pre-order now via www.nicerecords.co.uk, with a strictly limited quantity of red wax test pressings also available.
