Description
The Kinks - Face To Face LP
Original US MONO pressing on the Tri-Color Steamboat Reprise label. It has a name written on the back (see last picture), but apart from that the record and sleeve are in NEAR MINT condition.
As good as the early Kinks albums are, this was the first that can justifiably be regarded as a ‘classic’. Brilliant pop music and their sound had now progressed beyond pure R’n’B. All fourteen of the sublime tracks on offer were written by Ray Davies with Dave co-writing ‘Party Line’. This man, especially in the 1960s, wrote some of the most brilliant songs of this famous decade. Catchy songs with superb lyrics, but their albums did sell in the numbers they should have done. The country was transfixed with Beatles and Stones mania and bands of equal worth, like The Kinks were left behind. Their albums even grew in stature after this title but sales declined further still which was totally mystifying even though the singles still sold well. This is a very elusive record in the UK and US – this America first issue offers largely the same artwork and the exact track listing as the UK version. Only the label is considerably different, this on the lovely three-colour Reprise riverboat format. All elements of this copy are impressive: the delicate cover, the hardly used mono record and even the vintage Warner Bros promotional inner sleeve. A version that will rarely be seen or offered outside the United States, and for sound quality, it will rarely be beaten.
