Liner Notes:
The Kinks first came together in 1961 when two London-born brothers, Ray and Dave Davies decided to form a group that would, they hoped, supplement their meagre income as art students. They didn't, at that time have a lot going for them, except their inbred enthusiasm and genuine musical talent for rhythm and blues.As it turned out The Kinks never needed anything else to make them a success because with the writing talent of Ray to provide them with hit after hit and the natural ability of the group to give of their best on stage as well as on record, they've become a steady fixture in the world's pop chart positions. Heady sales figures give a clue to their early days, particularly between 1964 (the year of their first Silver Disc 'You really got me') and 1970. For during those years The Kinks notched up no less than six silver discs in Britain alone and earned a Gold Disc for 'You really got me'.
The Kinks ability to survive the changing tastes and trends of the pop world gives them a unique standing today in the musical world. They're no longer the same group of individuals who embarked on a musical career nearly ten years ago and certainly their music has changed. But the very elements that first brought them success have remained and are captured on this album by a band who have truly earned a place in the history books of British pop music.
