Music reviews of Kinda Kinks
Music Review: More than kinda an advancement over the debut--"Kinda Kinks" deluxe worth the price
Rating: 4 Stars
Although it lacked the one-two punch of the major hit singles on the band's debut album, "Kinda Kinks" is actually a better and more consistent album. Why? The reason comes down to the increased confidence from main Kinks songwriter/singer Ray Davies and the fact that he penned more originals for this album than the debut. It also has two of Ray's seminal songs "Something Better Beginning" and "Tired of Waiting for You" brilliant songs that showcases how much Ray had grown between the first and second albums. Ray writes everything but two tracks here for their second full length album on disc one quite an accomplishment given that neither the Stones nor The Beatles had done so by their second albums (the first album of all original Beatles compositions was "A Hard Day's Night" their third album and Lennon & McCartney split the chores).
The previous 1998 reissue had a single disc with 23 tracks half of them from singles, EP's and with 1 previously unreleased gem Ray's demo for the great song "I Go To Sleep". All of those tracks have been retained for this edition and there are an additional 12 tracks that have been added to this edition.
The remastering here by Andrew Sandoval and Dan Hersch does justice to the material without trying to make it sound like many of the loud remasters that have littered shelves over the past decade.
The first disc features the original mono album (I'm assuming that any stereo version doesn't exist any longer, can't be located or has in too bad a shape to include. I don't recall if this album ever received a dedicated stereo mix off the top of my head although I'm sure it did). The second disc features all of the bonus tracks from the previous edition as well as newly discovered previously unreleased material.
We get the tracks from the "Well Respected Men" EP, the demo track "This I Know", "Tell Me Now So I'll Know" (previously unreleased), "A Little Bit of Sunlight" (demo),"When I See that Girl of Mine" (demo), "This I Know" (demo version) plus the previously unreleased tracks "See My Friends" (alternate take), "Come On Now" (Alternate vocal), "You Shouldn't be Sad", "Hide and Seek" (both of which were previously unreleased)and other gems.
As with the other two reissues there is no hard plastic outer case with the "Deluxe Edition" logo. That has been replaced by tape that says the same thing that goes around the entire package.
The booklet has excellent liner notes with quotes from Ray and Dave's books, recording information, photos and an informative essay about the recording of the album.
Highly recommended.
Description of Kinda Kinks
Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of the British band's 1965 album including a plethora of bonus tracks. Kinda Kinks, the band's second release, is more or less of a piece with its predecessor. On the previous album, however, the band had used covers to fill the spaces between the Ray Davies originals, and here the tracks are almost all penned by Davies. 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 quite nicely with the pop propulsion of 'Tired Of Waiting'. With the focus so squarely on the singing songwriter, it's almost easy to forget how powerful the rest of the ensemble was-a tight little Rock 'n' Roll band of the highest order.Pop CDs
