nice post again Ruby...
yeh, I recall one track that began as Vaudeville but it moved on pretty quickly...
a lot of UKers use that dancehall/vaudeville sound in their careers, especially those from London as that would have been
the sound they grew up with...'you can take the boy out of London but you cant take London out of the boy'.
also one problem I have always had with Davies is that he tends to sound 'flat'when he sings IMO, he has little variation in his vocals,
this album is no different to that but it suits the sound.
I know Ray and Dave were talking a year or two ago about a possible reunion to commemorate their 50th Anniversary as a band but they
then started arguing again and it was put on hold, im wondering if some of the tracks were written for a possible Kinks album, I guess we'll never know?!?
