Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Great Album If You Are On Drugs.......2006-07-22

OK, I'm a geezer, and loved this album in the 1960's and picked up this CD, and must disagree with the rest of the reviewers here.

The Small Faces set themselves up as the Psychedelic Rock Band of the 1960's. Indeed, their 1st single and the biggest hit was Itchycoo Park, a song about taking LSD in a Park. Great song, by the way. But I digress.

This particular CD was their Sgt. Pepper, and side two of the vinyl had a confused druggy story about a lad who took a "trip" to find the other side of moon, and meets a friendly fly and other characters. The songs are interrupted by a narrative in broken English, that made sense when I was high on acid, but doesn't make sense now.

Well, not having heard the CD in 20 years, I'm afraid, I've changed.

It might have been really good (as far as I can remember was) on LSD, but the material is dated, and the little acid story made no sense then and makes no sense now. It is, quite frankly, irritating.

The bonus tracks are lifted from "Autum Stone" double vinyl album, which I might add has some terrific songs.

I'd pass on this CD and pick up Autum Stone if you can find it. Or, find your local drug dealer, buy some LSD and experience the music the way it supposed to be heard. But if you're now clean and sober like me, I'd pass.

5 out of 5 stars The Original LP is best!.......2006-01-30

A truly spectacular 60s masterpiece! For best sonic quality stick to the original record on the hot pink Immediate label. As an added bonus this is a ROUND record cover with some really strange art. Taken as a whole the original mixes and the original package were superb and best! The bonus tracks and whatever on the new cd make me feel I'm listening to a different album; a bit what the major studios did to the Who's Live at Leeds.

5 out of 5 stars 60s Rock Classic expanded & issued in US.......2004-07-09

Small Faces (1965 - 1969), were one of the great British groups of the 1960s, right up there with the Kinks, Who, and just a notch below the Stones and Beatles. "Ogden's," the group's fourth studio set and a # 1 album in Britain in 1968, has been available as an import for several years, and is finally now out in a reasonably priced package in the U.S.-- with an alternate mix of the late-period, meditative "The Autumn Stone" (from the band's unfinished final album of the same name, portions of which appeared alongside earlier material in 1969) and the five live tracks from November, 1968, appended. This edition clearly is superior in sound and packaging to the early '90s Sony (US) CD. For my money, however, the mastering on Santuary's 2003 "The Ultimate Collection" is superior, in terms of overall impact and especially in the reproduction of Ronnie Lane's bass and Kenny Jones' drum kit. There is altogether too little low-end here. Unfortunately, Santuary has not issued the entire album as part of its 50-track set. In any event, from the production/engineering team of Glyn Johns and George Chkiantz at Olympic Studios (part of the team behind the Stones' "Beggars Banquet"--also recorded at Olymic)to the inspired playing and superb songwriting of the entire band, this is an accomplished recording by a group at the peak of its powers--sexy and soulful("Afterglow"), psychedelic (in the best sense, the way Hendrix's "Axis:Bold As Love" is), witty ("Rene"), self-deprecating, and even, on Ronnie Lanes's crucial "Son Of A Baker," with its near perfect lyric of spiritual need, breathtakingly beautiful. Hear it in its entirety, then be pleasently surprised when you hear parts of it again on "The Ultimate Collection."
