"This album is mentioned as a prime example of "What Rudy Van Gelder Did 'Wrong'" in an article under that title at the Reverb com site, which is a gear trading site all musicians go to. I recommend doing a search for that title and checking out the article for a brief but excellent discussion of ..." [+] Reply
"The Kinks' classic 1965 album "The Kink Kontroversy" has now also been released in a deluxe edition. The original mono album comprises CD 1 while CD 2 is an exciting mix of singles, demos, outtakes and BBC liverecordings. The original album ought not require a detailed presentation, one can only ..." [+] Reply

"Tracks 1 (reprised at 6), 2, and 5 are especially strong. A nice blend of traditional and modern styles (at least modern by 1964 standards). Still sounds fresh and dynamic all these years later. The middle two tracks are excellent as well, but not up to the level as the bookends. 9.5/10!" Reply

"Side one, the studio set, (the first six tracks) is as good as any British invasion of its time, including the Beatles. Heart Full of Soul is for my money their best track ever. Side two (starting with Smokestack Lightning) is live tracks, really good garage band blues. If I find this album on Vi..." [+] Reply

"If aliens from another planet landed here and wanted to know what music from earth was like, this is what I would give them. I don't know if words can describe, but this would also serve as my desert island record. I can literally listen to this over and over with a smile on my face. I can't say ..." [+] Reply

"Its a really solid album through and through. It just sounds much much more assured and beautiful than his debut a year before. The songs are consistently gorgeous and topical yet timeless. In songs like "That's What I Want To Hear" its amazing cuz the concerns aren't dated at all. And his tribut..." [+] Reply

"The lightning quick follow up to their self titled debut album, Kinda kinks, picks up where that record left off. The LP features ten originals and two poor cover versions(naggin' woman, and, dancing in the street). Of the self penned tracks best are the acoustic, nothin' in the world, and classi..." [+] Reply
