Liner Notes:

"I could never get sick of playing Lola. I do it in the band I'm in now, it's a lovely, great song. Well written and at the time, totally totally different from anything else that was about."
JOHN DALTON

This unique book and film review draws on archive concert film of The Kinks in performance and documentary footage from television and radio archives around the world, along with extensive interviews with former band members to produce the true story of The Kinks in their own words.

The film features frank interviews with former Kinks band members, including drummer Mick Avory, Kinks bassist John Dalton and keys player John 'The Baptist' Gosling, along with archive interviews of Dave Davies. We also hear the first hand accounts of insiders from the Kinks camp along with a team of leading journalists and musicians who help strip away the layers of sensationalism and half truths to produce the ultimate critical review of Kinks.

The 72-page book features a history of the Kinks during the early days along with a track-by-track analysis of their studio albums from 1964-1978, and is illustrated with many colour photographs.

Highlights include: Muswell Hillbilly, You Really Got Me, Lola, Waterloo Sunset, Set Me Free, Long Tall Sally, All Day And All Of The Night and more...

Featuring interviews with former band members Mick Avory, John Dalton and John 'The Baptist' Gosling
