Kinked! Kinks Songs And Sessions 1964-1971

More Info

Ray Davies’ prolific songwriting muse showcased on choice rarities from the Kinks’ golden years – including a tune from brother Dave, and several recordings in which the whole band participated.

One of the greatest songwriting talents the UK has ever produced, Ray Davies was tremendously prolific right from his earliest days with the Kinks. His wry take on the British way of life was matched by uncanny melodic and commercial sensibilities, resulting in a body of work that remains unsurpassed. From ‘You Really Got Me’ on, the Kinks’ popularity and influence around the globe has been immeasurable, as ably demonstrated by the many covers of Davies’ songs.
