German PYE LC 0315
Great quality reissue of this 1965 Kinks classic. The cover is beautifully printed and it plays nice and loud.
All music says this: The Kinks came into their own as album artists — and Ray Davies fully matured as a songwriter — with The Kink Kontroversy, which bridged their raw early British Invasion sound with more sophisticated lyrics and thoughtful production. There are still powerful ravers like the hit "Till the End of the Day" (utilizing yet another "You Really Got Me"-type riff) and the abrasive, Dave Davies-sung cover of "Milk Cow Blues," but tracks like the calypso pastiche "I'm on an Island," where Ray sings of isolation with a forlorn yet merry bite, were far more indicative of their future direction. Other great songs on this underrated album include the uneasy nostalgia of "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?," the plaintive, almost fatalistic ballads "Ring the Bells" and "The World Keeps Going Round," and the Dave Davies-sung declaration of independence "I Am Free."
Tracks are: Milk Cow Blues, Ring The Bells, Gotta Get The First Plane Home, When I See That Girl Of Mine, I Am Free, Till The End Of The Day, The World Keeps Going Round, I'm On An Island, Wher Have All The Good Times Gone, It's Too Late, What's In Store For Me, You Can't Win
Both sleeve and record in truly excellent condition
