Kinks UK Reissue LP Lola Versus Powerman NM '83 Pye NSPL18359 Ray Davies


UK Reissue LP released in 1982 on PRT Records. Cat: NSPL 18359. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.

"Lola" gave the Kinks an unexpected hit and its crisp, muscular sound, pitched halfway between acoustic folk and hard rock, provided a new style for the band. However, the song only hinted at what its accompanying album Lola Versus the Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One was all about. It didn't matter that Ray Davies just had his first hit in years -- he had suffered greatly at the hands of the music industry and he wanted to tell the story in song. Hence, Lola a loose concept album about Ray Davies' own psychosis and bitter feelings toward the music industry. Davies never really delivers a cohesive story, but the record holds together because it's one of his strongest set of songs. Dave Davies contributes the lovely "Strangers" and the appropriately paranoid "Rats," but this is truly Ray's show, as he lashes out at ex-managers (the boisterous vaudevillian "The Moneygoround"), publishers ("Denmark Street"), TV and music journalists (the hard-hitting "Top of the Pops"), label executives ("Powerman"), and, hell, just society in general ("Apeman," "Got to Be Free").
  Tracks : The contenders/ Strangers/ Denmark Street/ Get back in line/ Lola/ Top of the pops/ The moneygoround/ This time tomorrow/ A long way from home/ rats/ Apeman/ Powerman/ Got to be free
