Kwyet Kinks (1965)

A well respected ep.
Its said thathis one s the most important.

Quotes
The EP represented a significant departure as hinted at by the play on words title as all four tracks are 'quieter' than the typical early Kinks rock sound.

The Kinks 45s #4 (UK, 1964)

All Day And All Of The Night/I Gotta Move (Pye 7N 15714)

The 45 follow-up, All Day And All Of The Night, was very much in the You Really Got Me mould, but it ensured another massive hit (No 2 UK, No 7 US).

#4

The Kinks 45s #3 (UK, 1964)

1st of all: Happy Father's Day

You Really Got Me/It's All Right (Pye 7N 15673)

Tras un par de fracasos comerciales, llega la bomba, el single "You Really Got Me", en Agosto de 1964, supone una autentica revolución en la música de entonces, sobre todo por ese espectacular riff de guitarra del señor Ray Davies (por cierto, descubierto de casualidad, mientras manipulaba su amplificador con una aguja)

The Kinks Eps #1 (UK, 1964)

Kinksize Session (Pye NEP 24200)

Predictably it flopped as did the follow-up, You Still Want Me, a Ray Davies original from the same session. By this time, though, they'd been the subject of much music press hype and had an appearance on 'Ready Steady Go' under their belt. The big breakthrough came with their third single, the Louie Louie influenced You Really Got Me. It's insistent riff powered what was a classic single to No. 1 in the UK in the Summer of 1964 and it also got to No. 7 in the US. Its style very much set the tone for all their singles in this early period.

Tall Sally/I took my baby home 1964 (Pye 7N 15611)

En 1964, el productor Shel Talmy les ficha (el mismo Talmy sería el que dos años mas tarde, también consiguiera producir a otro grupazo de los 60's, los australianos Easybeats). El batería Mick Avory sustituye a Mickey Willet, graban el clásico "Long Tall Sally" de Little Richard, en Febrero de 1964 (es en este año cuando cambian su nombre, y pasan a llamarse The Kinks).

The Kinks: Good Luck Charm, featuring Dave Davies (for collectors only, rare boot)

The big breakthrough came with their third single, the Louie LouieYou Really Got Me. It's insistent riff powered what was a classic single to No. 1 in the UK in the Summer of 1964 and it also got to No. 7 in the US. Its style very much set the tone for all their singles in this early period. To cash in on this success they were pressured to put out an album which at the time rose to No. 3. In retrospect, though, it contained little of interest other than Ray Davies' Stop Your Sobbing and the instrumental Revenge (which session guitarist Jimmy Page would later re-record with lyrics added). The remaining material was mostly covers of R&B classics by the like of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, though another rehash of Slim Harpo's Got Love If You Want It had originally been on their five track demo.

Tv cuts, radio promos, raw versions. Ok, the quality is not the best but I can promise that you would feel a whole lotta better after listening this rare treasure. 25 killer songs, plus the full artwork, thanks to my friend Santiago that let me use his scanner. Hope you enjoy this one, this one goes to Henry and Aldo, two special visitors from the house.

The Kinks: Well Respected Kinks (1966)

1966 also saw a change in personnel, albeit temporary, when John Dalton deputised for Pete Quaife, initially because the latter had broken his ankle. In fact he later formed a new group Maple Oak but rejoined The Kinks after they'd put out one flop single. In 1969, of course, John Dalton, who'd played with The Mark Four, replaced Quaife permanently when he left to pursue a career in commercial shops and buy a record shop in Copenhagen.

Collectors`stuff...another Superb Compilation, and you`ll find some great artwork here, just need to download the album, and of course, leave comments. Grab this beauty.

The Kinks: In Sweden Ep (1966)

INFO OF LATE 65-EARLY 66

At the conclusion of their summer 1965 American tour, the Kinks were banned from re-entering the United States by the American government for unspecified reasons. For four years, the Kinks were prohibited from returning to the U.S., which not only meant that the group was deprived of the world's largest music market, but that they were effectively cut off from the musical and social upheavals of the late '60s.

From the Ep Collection, here we have the rock/raw garage song "Milk Cow Blues" and 3 more hits of the era (all of them great!). Released as a promo in Europe after being banned in the Usa. This is a good way to start with the Kinks for all those who haven`t hear them yet. And for the collectors you ll find some great - rare cover. Yea, something to collect, plus, we are talking about the Kinks ! ! !

The Kinks: The Kinks (1º,with bonus,1964)

Although the best of the Kinks' early work is among the best British Invasion music, their initial pair of albums was far less consistent than those of the Beatles, Stones, and Who. Aside from the great "You Really Got Me," this was a shabby, disappointing set with surprisingly thin production. As R&B cover artists, the Kinks weren't nearly as adept as the Stones and Yardbirds; Ray Davies' original tunes were, "You Really Got Me" aside, perfunctory Merseybeat-ish pastiches; and a couple of tunes that producer Shel Talmy penned for the group, "Bald Headed Woman" and "I've Been Driving on Bald Mountain," were simply abominable. The rave-up treatments of the R&B standards "Got Love If You Want It" and "Cadillac" were good, and the simple "Stop Your Sobbing" would eventually be covered by the Pretenders, but overall this is real patchy. The CD reissue, however, is a great improvement, adding a wealth of bonus tracks from early singles and their first EP, some excellent. The ferocious "All Day and All of the Night" was a classic hit whose razor riffing outdid even "You Really Got Me," and the B-sides "It's Alright" and "I Gotta Move" are tremendous frenetic lost gems. There are also a couple of previously unissued cuts: an alternative take of "Too Much Monkey Business" and an early, Beatle-ish original, "I Don't Need You Any More."(allmusic)
