- The album's release was accompanied by a promotional campaign that included the band flying a banner over Stonehenge.

- The album's second side famously features a continuous narrative, with songs flowing into one another to create a unified psychedelic journey.
Small Faces were a mod-influenced British rock band formed in London in 1965, known for their sharp style and energetic, R&B-inflected pop. "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" was their third studio album, released during a period of increasing psychedelic experimentation for the band.
