WELL,
LIVED MY LIFE
AND NEVER STOPPED TO WORRY
'BOUT A THING
OPENED UP AND SHOUTED OUT
AND NEVER TRIED TO SING
Kinda Kinks
is the
second studio album
by the English
Rock band
It was released on
March 5th 1965
in the
United Kingdom
by Pye Records.
The original
United States release,
issued by
Reprise Records
11 August 11th 1965,
omits three tracks
and substitutes
the singles
"Set Me Free"
and
"Everybody's Gonna Be Happy".
Recorded and released
within two weeks
after returning from
a tour in Asia,
Ray Davies
and the band
were not satisfied
with the production.
Production
The album 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:
"A bit more care
should have
been taken with it.
I think (producer)
Shel Talmy
went too far
in trying to keep
in the rough edges.
Some of the
double tracking
on that is appalling.
It had better songs on it
than the first album,
but it wasn't executed
in the right way.
It was just
far too rushed."
