Music reviews of The Kink Kontroversy, Deluxe Edition
Music Review: No kontroversy here--one of the Kinks finest early albums gets its due with deluxe edition
Rating: 5 Stars
A criminally underrated masterpiece from The Kinks "Kinks Kontroversy" seemed like just another Kinks album when it was released but songwriter Ray Davies had continued to develop his craft with this album which is (with the exception of the opening track "Milk Cow Blues") the first Kinks album filled completely with Davies originals.
This deluxe reissue does a terrific job of bringing the album its just due; remastered by Andrew Sandoval and Dan Hersch (who worked on the deluxe "Village Green")the two disc set may on the surface seem like the least generous of the reissues to date; we get the original mono album on disc one (I'm assuming the stereo masters are missing as this is the only one of the first three albums NOT to include both or they are so badly damaged that they can't be used)making for a relatively short first CD. All 12 songs on the first disc have punch and sound quite good--they may be a bit louder than the original CD pressing but (to me)it's clear that as usual Sandoval and Hersch did their research and found the best possible tapes for this reissue.
Both discs sound extremely good for a new release--there's dynamics and the life has not been compressed out of the recordings.
Disc two has the songs from singles and EP's on it. The 1998 CD reissue only had four bonus tracks. This edition quadruples the original bonus tracks and puts them all on the second disc. We get all four from the previous edition plus a more recently discovered alternate take of "Mr Reporter" with Ray's lead vocal on it, the outtake "Time Will Tell", a demo "All Night Stand", five BBC session songs (along with brief interviews with the late Pete Quaife and with Ray)and "And I Will Love You" a previously unreleased EP track.
Also included are alternate takes for "Dedicated Follower of Fashion", "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" as well as the original mono single versions of each of those songs. "Sittin on My Sofa" is carried over from the previous edition.
We also get a deluxe booklet with photos, info on each track as well as sleeve notes discussing the making of the album (and also why drummer Mick Avory doesn't appear on most of it)with splenty of quotes sprinkled throughout from Ray and Dave's separate books.
The packaging is quite nice although it looks like the digipak accordian style sleeve has the hard plastic exterior that most of the deluxe editions have had in the past, this one doesn't--it's a style in the same style that seals the packging.
Highly recommended.
Description of The Kink Kontroversy, Deluxe Edition
Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of this 1965 album from the British Rock legends including a plethora of bonus tracks. The Kink Kontroversy is a transitional work, with elements of both the earlier Kinks' styles (heavily blues-influenced songs and variations on the band's hits from 1964-65) and early indications of the future direction of Ray Davies songwriting styles. With The Kink Kontroversy we have the backdrop of a band struggling with itself and with the authorities, going into the studio and coming out the other side with an album which shows a band on the up and freeing up room for itself so it can prosper and develop further in later years.Pop CDs
