Overview Edit

Kinda Kinks is a studio album by the English rock band The Kinks, released in 1965. It was recorded immediately after the return of the group from an Asian tour, and was completed and released within two weeks. Consequently, the production was rushed and, according to Ray Davies, the band was not completely satisfied with the final cuts. Due to record company pressure, however, no time was available to fix certain flaws present in the mix. Ray Davies has expressed his dissatisfaction towards the production not being up to par. Commenting on this, he said:

It was released in the United States with a different, rearranged, track listing and repackaged cover. Several tracks were removed as well, and the single "Set Me Free" was unique to the album's US release.

4 stars Difficult Second Album
I agree with much of what Big Tone wrote in his review of Kinda Kinks,. The music industry really did treat bands like commodities without any expectation of longevity. In the case of the Kinks, and this album in particular, this lead to a good album that should have been a great album. Where this package really lifts the game is the inclusion of the second disc with non-album singles such as Everybody's Gonna Be Happy, Set Me Free, See My Friend, A Well Respected Man, etc. These were, however, …

3 stars So much to do, so little time
It's always been popular to pan this album & let's face it, a lot of it sounds hurried & un-polished.

The Kinks were on tour constantly following the release of You really got me & were expected to fit in writing & recording another album's worth of material in a very short space of time.

This is what they produced.....imagine if they had been given longer. Now read on ...
