Story & Background
Ah, a real gem! This first pressing of "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake", often affectionately referred to as "Nut Gone" by collectors, is a milestone not only for music but also for graphic design. Its legendary circular sleeve, a faithful imitation of an old 'Ogdens' Nut-Brown Flake' tobacco tin, was a true aesthetic revolution for its time. This avant-garde packaging, designed to evoke a unique tactile and visual experience, caused quite a few headaches for distribution and record shops, making it difficult to stack and display. Yet, the audacity of Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records in pursuing such a vision was rewarded, elevating the album to a cultural icon. An edition that, despite the logistical challenges and higher costs, redefined the concept of album artwork and its interaction with the listener. It included a booklet telling the story, further enriching the multi-sensory experience intended by the band. All in all, a true gem that every collector of British psychedelia and packaging innovation should absolutely own.
