Title: One Of My Favourite Kinks Albums
Product review: One of the first Kinks albums I bought, and it remains one of my favourites. I bought it because of a rave review in Stero Review (now Sound & Vision). It is powered by the one-two punch of Sitting In My Hotel and Celluloid Heroes - both are as good as anything Ray ever wrote. The latter is particularly poignant.I wish they had never included the live album in the original release - IMHO it detracted from the overall impact.Completists beware: For some reason this CD reissue deletes the last 25 seconds of Here Comes Yet Another Day (I own both the original Canadian vinyl and the Velvel CD). It's only some noodling by Dave on guitar, but the song seems to end abruptly without it. I'm guessing they ran out of room on the CD.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
