Album number four, released in 1966.
Now we're cooking with gas !! This is a quantum leap forward in comparison with the previous three.
All of a sudden The Kinks blossomed into what I'd recognise as being their trademark sound. Ray hit his stride with a collection of songs exhibiting what would become his favoured songwriting style, with humour, observation, and a peculiarly English sensibility that by & large he's still using to this day.
Cracking album.
RoviMusic 5/5 stars.

Paris-Supertramp - absolute humdinger of an album. 'Fools Overture' is nothing short of spectacular.

Nice choice, Jerome, one of the great live albums with very good sound quality! I had the pleasure of seeing Supertramp in the Seventies here on more than one occasion ! Jerome Wrote:Paris-Supertramp - absolute humdinger of an album. 'Fools Overture' is nothing short of spectacular.

Spot on, Crazyman. Rosie was Ray's outpouring of emotion following his sister's emigration to Oz.
And you're right, Sunny Afternoon was the big hit single.

2011 one-off collaboration between Glenn Tillbrook of Squeeze fame, and Nine Below Zero.
The info available says that this sounds nothing like either, but I'd have to say it does come across as a Bluesy Squeeze. Tilbrook handles most of the vocal duties, which is no bad thing, as I feel his voice is very good indeed. There are three covers, including The Beatles' You Never Give me Your Money, and a great version of The Crusaders/Randy Crawford's One Day I'll Fly Away. The rest are co-writes, including three instrumentals.
A very good album...
Not scored by RoviMusic.

Tom said he was the more gifted musician of the family but was not in the right place at the right time, thus he never made it.
his parents were all "roger this, roger that" apparently?, thus he moved to Australia to live a "hippy" lifestyle(self sufficient,living off the land,veggie gardens etc etc).
Tom depised his family for ignoring him and heaping all the praise on the "less gifted" brother, but was happy Roger "made it".
he had all the Supertramp albums and Roger's solo stuff.
look, not sure, got the impression there was a bit of jealousy there....but he seemed to be a nice guy overall!
