Review

Despite some excellent songs on here and despite the fact I normally disagree with 1-side being much better than the other - it rings very true for Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. The first two songs  are the best of the album and start it off great and it continues with good marks for Rene and a great one in "Song of a Baker" and of course one of there more well known songs - Lazy Sunday.

Rollin' Over really starts the decline (although Happiness Stan could possibly be the start, despite being a solid song) and doesn't stop until Mad John, although also solid and just a "solid" Happy Days Toy Town.

But considering the sound of the album and the better songs on the album plus how badly well-known this album is overall, I have to bump up the overall rating a bit because this album is a must-listen to if you like the Small Faces.
