I am confused about this Small Faces release. Wasn't 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake' just released as a 3 CD set a couple of months back along with the rest of their albums?

If so:
What is the difference with this one?
How can there be two competing sets out? I can't see two companies having the rights.
On a less confused note, I am looking forward to hearing Steve Hoffman's take on Dylan's Greatest.
Hi Jason, the Immediate-era recordings of the Small Faces are controlled by Universal in the U.K. and Charly in other territories (including the U.S.). For this reissue program, both labels teamed up. In the U.K., OGDEN'S was released some weeks back in a "Deluxe Edition" packaging from Universal. Today, the same contents are released by Charly in the limited tin, but the contents of the CDs are identical. (The Immediate album entitled SMALL FACES was similarly released in a Deluxe Edition in the U.K. but a digi-book format here.) Hope this helps!
It does, Mr. Marchese, thanks! I should have known it was a rights issue.
