Records I'd Forgotten Existed, Let Alone Loved: An Occasional Feature (Special "Three Chords But They're the RIGHT Three Chords" Edition)

From 1968 (and the b-side to the utterly sublime "Days")...

...please enjoy The Kinks' and their rockin' return to form "She's Got Everything."

Take my word -- this was a real breath of fresh air in the context of its time. Holds up too, obviously.

Days was sublime but sadly never charted here. The same was true of Waterloo Sunset and Autumn Almanac from the same period. Gotta believe that the performing ban here extended to radio stations not playing Kinks releases.

Definitely in my Top Five Kinks tracks. I believe it was recorded far earlier than 'Days' and came off the shelf to be the flip. In an alternate universe this is as big a hit as 'Satisfaction.'

Supposedly the track was left over from 1966.

Truly one amazing recording.

Yeah. I question it being produced by Ray and not by Shel Talmy.

For me the "The Kink Kronikles" double-LP is as important as Julia Child's "The Art of French Cooking." For different reasons, obviously.

Kurt B: Agree totally. I'm of the age when I didn't hear the early Kinks stuff (pre-Lola), so the Kink Kronikles was like a Rosetta Stone introducing me to my favorite band ever.
