One of the greatest, and most misunderstood LPs ever made! Ray Davies called it "The
most successful failure of all time." "It was a project that was either ahead of it's time, or
just totally out of time," Dave Davies recalls. Despite it perhaps being the band's best
work, its songs about draught beer, cricket and strawberry jam, made it recklessly
unfashionable in the sex-drugs-and-rock'n'roll mind frame of the swinging sixties. This is
the DEFINITIVE edition of the Kinks' magnum opus! With this release you get the complete
mono version of the album plus an entire album of extra rare bonus tracks, many of which
are released here for the first time on vinyl! Also includes extensive liner notes and an
exhaustive annotated track listing!
