Kinks ORIG OZ LP Something else VG+ 67 Astor SPLP1225 Ray Davies Baroque Rock

Kinks

Something else by the Kinks

Original OZ 1st Press LP released in 1967 on Astor Records. Cat: SPLP1225.   

These lovely titles are as small part of a recent collection that I will be listing over the next few months. Some extremely rare and wonderful titles amongst them...

Face to Face was a remarkable record, but its follow-up, Something Else, expands its accomplishments, offering 13 classic British pop songs. As Ray Davies' songwriting becomes more refined, he becomes more nostalgic and sentimental, retreating from the psychedelic and mod posturings that had dominated the rock world. Indeed, Something Else sounds like nothing else from 1967. The Kinks never rock very hard on the album, preferring acoustic ballads, music hall numbers, and tempered R&B to full-out guitar attacks. Part of the album's power lies in its calm music, since it provides an elegant support for Davies' character portraits and vignettes. From the martial stomp of "David Watts" to the lovely, shimmering "Waterloo Sunset," there's not a weak song on the record, and several such as the allegorical "Two Sisters," the Noël Coward-esque "End of the Season," the rolling "Lazy Old Sun," and the wry "Situation Vacant" are stunners.

Tracks: David Watts/ Death of a clown/ Two sisters/ No return/ Harry rag/ Tin soldier man/ Situation vacant/ Love me till the sun shines/ Lazy old sun/ Afternoon tea/ Funny face/ End of the season/ Waterloo sunset.

There are some light spindle marks on labels. Record has a few light scuff marks and very light scratches  that cause some light crackles throughout and is in VG+ condition. Cover with back flaps has light ring wear, a small red pen mark sticker stain and small surface tear on back top right corner, some light age spots and marks and a few tiny surface tears around edges and is in VG+ condition.
