FIRST PRINTING = 55 year old STEAMBOAT Reprise collectible in glorious MONO ... the classic 1964 RAVE-UP Beatrocker that stormed in the British Invasion ....The very first Kinks album, a raving rowdy beatrocker loaded with aggression...the smash hit You Really Got Me is only the beginning with two full sides similar in the sneering garage punk vein only rivaled by bands like the Animals, Pretty Things & Rolling Stones...
The mono mixes are bold & punchy that differs from the stereo release

Given the startling number of original pop-rock masterpieces the Kinks are responsible for composing, it is ironic to think that they began life primarily as an Garage/ Beat R&B band. Their 1964 debut album, in fact, featured several R&B classics, like 'Beautiful Delilah' and 'Cadillac', but it was the original material, like 'You Really Got Me' and 'So Mystifying' that made it a British poprock classic and helped the Davies brothers take that first historic step in cementing their role as one of the most influential and innovative bands in pop history.
On the classic YOU REALLY GOT ME ...Dave Davies got the dirty guitar sound by slashing the speaker cone on his amp with a razor blade. The vibration of the fabric produced an effect known as "fuzz," which became common as various electronic devices were invented to distort the sound. At the time, none of these devices existed, so Davies would mistreat his amp to get the desired sound, often kicking it. The amp was a cheap unit called an Elpico. The powerful rhythm guitar riff was very influential on other British groups. The Rolling Stones recorded "Satisfaction," which was driven by the rhythm guitar, a year later.
