Saw this headline yesterday, and thought it said Ian McKellen at first. I freaked out a little.

Thanks for posting this. What a great sound. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I don't know this band, as much as I dig the music from this era. Time to get googling....

Listen to the whole Ogden's Nut Gone Flake album. Somebody has it up on Youtube. The first side is straight solid pop tracks, and the second half is a Cockney child's storytime concept album with intra-song segues. Mad John (from the second side) is an amazing song.

Thanks. I'll check it out. "Cockney child's storytime concept album with intra-song segues" is enough of a draw for me. I'm also intrigued by an integrated band in 1967. I'm sure it turned a few heads.

Well, the band itself wasn't integrated per se in normal recording, but Tin Soldier was written *for* P. P. Arnold (with them here, a friend) and she's on the Small Faces album version. Steve Marriot kept the song for himself, per Wikipedia, because he liked it and had written it *to* his wife.
