[isdntekvideo]A unique tracking selection of KINKS '60s gems, solid LP with lesser known gems among classics. "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" & "I Need You" were highly popular infectious beat-ravers, so influential with teens & garage bands . Both tracks mentioned were covered exceptionally by Chocolate Watchband & Zachary Thaks and others... Elsewhere other numbers are recise and (often) witty vignettes such as Sunny Afternoon and Deadend Street. The songs show just what a great songwriter Ray Davies was, both musically and lyrically. At just under three minutes (no pop song should be over that), every song has a great melody that lingers forever in your mind - and that is true whether it is the deceptively lazy "Sunny Afternoon" or the prototype punk of "I Need You". His lyrics are exercises in economy, precision, observation and wit. Anyone attempting to become a songwriter will learn something from listening to Ray Davies. He is truly one of the great songwriters.
Credit must also go to the band. They have a wonderfully tight and together rhythm section from Mick Avory and Pete Quaife; but it is Dave Davies, brother of Ray, who excels. He lays down some of the most menacing and brooding riffs since Link Wray -- just listen to "Sittin' On The Sofa" to understand the statement. The band perfectly complement Ray's excellent voice. This is what all rock music should aspire to be.
This may not contain every single one of their sixties classics, - get The Ultimate Collection for that- but it has a good selection of them and it is the rarities such as "Sittin' On The Sofa", "Big Black Smoke" and "Louie Louie" that makes this such a find. Every single track in this collection is an aural delight.
In this image conscious age of ours, The Kinks were the best-dressed band in the land - and in the swinging 60s, that was quite something! Undoubtedly, James Barry had something to do with that -and you will have to read the Kinks Pop Chronicle to understand this.
