Flaking Out

I've been listening to the deluxe edition of the Small Faces' "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" -- the mono version of the album is way better than the stereo remaster of it. I usually don't wax all enthusiastic about mono v. stereo or remasters or whatever, but it's really so much better. And there's a cool disc that has an audio documentary about the album, which is also amusing.

But the sound of the mono -- good lord, is it ever great!

Everybody who likes psychedelic pop, you must get it, you will enjoy it, truly. And, as I said, the mono mix is actually better than the stereo, amazingly enough. I'm amazed, myself.
