Product Description:
A budget sampler of the Kinks' early years, this compilation presents some of Ray Davies's best songs from 1964 and '65. The set includes the cleverly satirical "A Well Respected Man," the wonderfully weary "Tired of Waiting for You," and "You Really Got Me," a fierce rocker that proved the Kinks could hold their own against the Stones and the Who. What's immediately clear upon hearing these tunes is how smart and assured Davies's songcraft was, even in these formative years. More than anything, these 10 tracks give a good sense of the pop brilliance that would follow on SOMETHING ELSE BY THE KINKS and THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY. Longtime Kinks fans will likely already have the songs here on other releases, but for those seeking a brief, potent introduction to the group, WELL RESPECTED KINKS fits like a well-tailored British suit.
