Product Information

In 1981, the Kinks continued their winning streak with their stellar effort “Give The People What They Want.” For this amazing release, Ray Davies, Dave Davies & Co. expand their arena rock sound into a unique brand of rock and storytelling like no other. With 11 solid new rockers including big radio hits like “Destroyer” “Around The Dial” and the huge title track, the entire Lp has become an enduring masterwork. Filled with even more favorites like “Art Lover” & “Better Things", The Kinks truly delivered one of the most important albums of the early 80's with the hard rockin' “Give The People What They Want.” Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Mastering, we are further enhancing your Kinks musical enjoyment with a first time gatefold cover, as well as including a LP poster insert.

NotesLimited 180gm clear colored vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. 1981 found The Kinks riding high. The band was a popular concert attraction and the bulk of their work from this period was perfectly suited to the broader gestures required in arenas. Ray Davies, never a man to shy away from irony, offers an album title that sounds like a directive. Yet opener "Around The Dial" stares squarely into the perceived dearth of meaningful fare on the contemporary airwaves and closer "Better Things," proved to be one of the Kinks' strongest, most evocative songs in years. Davies produced the album to blend smoothly with the era's sonic priorities and values - and although the drum sound is clearly a product of the times - the rich identity of the band is clearer and stronger than ever.
