Say it's 1965, you're an American record executive and you've just seen two new singles by one of those British rock & roll bands on your label shoot up the charts, and there's no album to go with them; what do you do? Well, if your company was Reprise Records and the singles were "All Day and All of the Night" and "Tired of Waiting for You" by the Kinks, then what you did was take five songs off of the band's recent British-only singles and EPs, two cuts ("I'm a Lover Not a Fighter," "Revenge") that had been dropped from the U.S. version of the group's "You Really Got Me" album, and one ("Come on Now") off of their second U.K.-only LP, throw them and the two hits together on a 12" disc, come up with a pretty cool name, and voila -- you had Kinks-Size. What makes this record more enjoyable than the band's U.K. albums of the same era is that it was made up largely of singles, all efforts at luring in millions of listeners 150 seconds or so at a time. The American label essentially distilled the best parts of the group's work in England, thus giving albums like Kinks-Size a distinct advantage. From the raw, slurred "Louie Louie" to the pounding rave-up of "Come on Now," this record rocks, showing off the better sides of the group's R&B output and early, formative, Beatles-influenced experiments as well. It may be a work of art, but it's also more fun than their accompanying U.K. long-players of the era, and it had no equivalent in England for many years.
This was the Kinks' most successful album of the 1960s in America (discounting Greatest Hits!), reaching #13 on the album charts.
