Description
The Great Lost Kinks Album is a 1973 LP of mostly unreleased material issued by Reprise Records after the Kinks had moved to RCA. The tracks were recorded between 1966 and 1970 and master tapes were shipped to the US Reprise Label in the early 1970s to fulfil contractual obligations with that label. Kinks leader and songwriter, Ray Davies, intended most of the songs to remain unreleased "collateral" tracks for Reprise. Davies and the Kinks management first learned of the album's existence from the US Billboard record chart. Davies instituted legal action against Reprise, which resulted in Reprise discontinuing the album in 1975. It became an immediate collector's item as most of the songs remained officially unreleased until the 1998 reissue of Kinks albums with bonus tracks. Overall this promo release is in very good condition with expectation of the sticker on the upper back right cover for original radio station library reference. The inner sleeve was blank for this promo issue and the 1st pressing vinyl, although rare, was pressed thin.
