Kinks

• Originally released in 1965, The Kinks’ second album was made up of nine Ray Davies originals - one co-write with Dave Davies - and two covers.

• It went to Number Three in the UK chart and included their second UK Number One ‘Tired Of Waiting For You’.

• Davies’ lovelorn songs had yet to fully flower into elegies for disappearing lifestyles and values but his wistful melodicism can be heard in tunes such as ‘Something Better Beginning’, ‘Don’t Ever Change’ and ‘So Long’, which mingle nicely with the pop propulsion of ‘Tired Of Waiting For You’.
