Sorry if this question ruins your day... But if the Kinks could only put out a greatest hits of only 3 songs on Side A and 3 songs on Side B. Six total, what would you love most?

George Harrison Responds to Ray Davies' Negative Review of 'Revolver'. Also mentions Clapton's positive review, & the many covers of 'Revolver' album tracks. Like all Yesterday's Papers videos, lots of great info if you can accept the AI narration voice.

Does anyone in NYC want to trade this mint LP of everybody’s in show-biz for a copy of Lola vs the powerman (any condition)

it’s a US pressing from the 80’s (WITH INSERT) and it doesn’t have a single scratch. I’m willing to take a copy of the Lola album in any condition as long as it plays. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy for so long

Shel Naylor - "One Fine Day" (1964). Classic rocker that should have been a hit. Another from the Davies songbook - DAVE Davies that is, he gets the credit. Maybe Ray wrote it but kept his name off for some reason. Allegedly the Kinks cut it at the same time but it's never been released. Curious.

In your opinion, why did The Kinks just fade away at the end?

Th 90's seem to have some promise for The Kinks as they had a new record deal with Columbia. The LP Phobia had some buzz, the band was pretty aggressive with shows and media appearances.

Nothing seemed to work. Why? Even the concert venues were pretty sad for a band with this pedigree.

My cat Lola

I named my cat lola after the song by the kinks. I just thought it fit her because shes a diluted calico, shes unique.
