The Story
Limited edition 1000 unit pressing on red 140g vinyl. 1964 debut album from one of the worldâs greatest and most successful rock bands, featuring a mixture of popular R&B covers and the bandâs own compositions. Features the UK No.1 chart hit âYou Really Got Meâ, the group's third single, written by Ray Davies and built around a heavy guitar riff played by Dave Davies.
The distorted guitar power chords on the track are credited by many as having invented the heavy rock and punk sound, with the songâs lyrics being described by Dave as âa love song for street kids.â
âYou Really Got Meâ was the Kinksâ breakthrough hit, establishing them as one of the top British Invasion acts in the United States, and reaching number seven there later in the year. The album also includes rocking renditions of the R&B standards âGot Love If You Want It,â âToo Much Monkey Business,â âCadillacâ and âStop Your Sobbing,â a later hit by The Pretenders
