Liner Notes:
THE KINKS

THE KINK KONTROVERSY
THE KINKS--four young men from England--have lasted where others have faded away. Despite the fact that they have made no grand personal appearance tours throughout America, despite the fact that they haven't been exploited in movies, despite lots of things... The Kinks have remained at the very top of pop record popularity, while others have faded and died.
KINKS KONTROVERSY is the best example of Why. Ten of the twelve songs in the album are authored by the lead Kink, Ray Davies. His three coKinks, Dave Davies (his brother), Mick Avory, and Pete Quaife combine with Ray in an amazing variety of sounds and sensations, never relying on the same, tired sound that many small vocal-instrumental groups become trapped by.
The Kinks gained their original fame with a heavy rhythm-and blues approach to music, and sprang into international prominence with "You Really Got Me." A succession of hits followed, each with a different sound; solid evidence of this is The Kinks latest (as of this writing) hit, the simple, folk-like ballad-commentary, "A Well Respected Man." From their original wall-of-sound stylings, in which all instruments are tuned to maximum forcefulness, to their Kwyet-Kinks sound, in which melodic simplicity predominates.
So here it is--KINKS KREATIVITY--an album laden with potential hits by the best-selling Kinks.
