Not Friday on my Mind 85: Song of a Baker
Posted in 1960s, Friday On My Mind, Music at 12:00 on 18 October 2024
I have referred to this song before but never actually posted it here.
From the sublimely named LP Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake (don’t take up smoking kids). As I recall it came in a circular cardboard sleeve (and when released as a CD years later in a cylindrical tin resembling those tobacco was once sold in.)*
The Small Faces: Song of a Baker
*Looking it up it seems that the very first release was also in a tin but quickly replaced by the circular cardboard as the tin was too expensive and rolled off record shelves!

Aye, my memory was that ONGF was first released in a tin.
As a general principle, I wonder if a limited edition works as an anti-sales strategy, in that if you can’t get the special, why buy the plain one? I remember Curved Air’s first album was released this way, with the initial copies being on clear vinyl with bits in. Not available in my small town, so didn’t buy it. To add insult to injury, the printed sleeve showed what you’d missed.
I’m not bitter 🙂

San,
I didn’t know that about the Curved Air album. You could well be right about the anti-sales thing.
