Re: early kinks
dude, great idea (about early Kinks).
I dont get the name though. Are you sure your not mispelling it? Nothing would be more punk rock than to be in a band called "The Queefs". :-}~
Re: early kinks
pete quaife = first kinks bass player...
Re: early kinks
ahhhhhh....
Re: early kinks
is this a cover band? kinks tribute? both? neither?
Re: early kinks
Because when you need someone that can hack through sloppy Dave Davies guitar solos, I'm the guy you want.
It's what I do.
It's a boy Mrs. Walker, it's a boy...
Re: early kinks
right now it's deep early kinks tracks with some zombies thrown in and a few originals.
john d's tone on his lp through an ac-30? yes please!
the hollow body harmony bass sounds sweet as well.
Re: early kinks
This is awesomeness. <--------is that even a word? I will definatley try to make it out.
Re: early kinks
thanks stacy.
we'll hopefully bring this circus to the woo.
it's only preacher roe that's banned here.
Re: early kinks

Re: early kinks
I still like The Queefs... :-(
Re: early kinks

Re: early kinks
Oh my lord,
I am so insanely excited for this 'un.
Re: early kinks
In celebration, here's my favorite album.
Play lots from this one!
;D
Re: early kinks
hey mattma-
if you dig this era kinks i think you'll like the selection. without revealing the set list, we only do one off something else proper, but a bunch of b-sides from that lot.
we're also working on a dave number that i consider tied for rarest kinks track (tied with 'mick avory's underpants').
and i'm shaping up a john d penned kinksian original that i'm falling in lurve with...
Re: early kinks
B-sides are definitely my cup of "Afternoon Tea."
hmm a rare dave track eh?...so many delicious possibilities. I can't wait to hear it!
Re: early kinks
besides LOLA, the first Kinks song I really liked was COME DANCING.
..when that song first came out, it sounded like nothing else on the radio at the time.
Re: early kinks
"Come Dancing" is a fantastic song. I love Ray's observations of how places, people and things change. He's very poetic, artful and humorous about it.
Another song from that period I love is "Do It Again." It starts with the Hard Day's Night chord. Awesome guitar solo from Dave on that one.
Re: early kinks
many folks slag the arista years but those records have a certain charm and include a handful of nuggets. 'better days' in particular rates with the kinks' best stuff.
sir raymond douglas graces the cover of this month's magnet magazine. excellent interview by yo la tengo's ira kaplan, who's band backed ray in 2000.
Re: early kinks
"She's My Girl"??
http://elbrendel.blogspot.com/
Re: early kinks
Do It Again is a great great great song.
Re: early kinks
Just a sidenote...
why was Dave's fourth single "Hold My Hand" not released on any reissue? But the B-side "Creeping Jean" was.
Where can I find it?
Re: early kinks
perhaps i misspoke re: dave's 'rarest'. 'creeping jean' is what i was referencing. few know that one, kudos to you.
Re: early kinks
darn didn't mean to give it away...
great song though!
Re: early kinks
i just got an italian pye pressing of 'waterloo sunset' b/w 'act nice and gentle' off ebay via croatia.
'waterloo sunset' = the best pop song ever written to these ears
Re: early kinks
In the early 90’s I hooked up with a collector in the Netherlands who would send me some cool unreleased Kinks stuff. Most of it was live music from the 70’s and 80’s but every once in a while he would slip in some early, unreleased demos that would just blow my mind. When I had a bunch saved up, I decided to use the songs I had and the legitimate CD’s to come up with a compilation of early Kinks demos. Here is that disc:
"I Believed You (’63)"
"Revenge (’63)"
"I’m A Hog For You (’63)"
"Ooba Diooba (’63)"
"I Don’t Need You Anymore (’64)"
"Too Much Monkey Business (’64)"
"Got Love If You Want It (’64)"
"Don’t Ever Let Me Go (’64)"
"When I See That Girl of Mine (’65)"
"Time Will Tell (’65)"
"I Go To Sleep (’65)"
"A Little Bit of Sunlight (’65)"
"This Strange Effect (’65)"
"Tell Me Now, So I’ll Know (’65)"
"Hide And Seek (’65)"
"She’s My Girl (’65)"
"Listen To Me (’65)"
"Tell Me Now, So I’ll Know (Group demo – ’65)"
"There’s A New World Opening For Me (’65)"
"And I Will Love You (’65)"
"This I Know (’65)"
"All Night Stand (’66)"
"Mr. Reporter (’66)"
"Dedicated Follower of Fashion (’66)"
"Sand On My Shoes (’67)"
When Sanctuary Records did their Kinks reissues, here are 2 songs that for some reason NEVER got reissued:
"She’s Got Everything (’66)"
"Hold My Hand (Dave Davies)"
These are from the BBC, recorded 10/29/67 and didn’t make it on the Kinks BBC set:
"Mr. Pleasant"
"Susannah’s Still Alive"
"Sunny Afternoon"
"David Watts"
Re: early kinks
holy crap Louie! Thanks!
Re: early kinks
that's sweet stuff louie!
Re: early kinks
Louie for President!
Re: early kinks
You're welcome guys. Anything I can do to help the cause.
Re: early kinks
lordy lordy!
that is amazing. thanks for those tracks!!! The 1966 version of Mr. Reporter is fantastic. I love those odd sound harmonies on "And I Will Love You." The pre-Monica.
i love the quote in the 3-CD retrospective of the Village Green about why She's Got Everything wasn't released on it.
"She's Got Everything, the b-side of Days, was recorded (in February 1966) two years before it was released, well before work began on Village Green and so has been omitted."
Right...
Vocals were supposedly overdubbed in 1968...oh well. All the more reason to keep the Kink Kronikles around I guess.
Those reissue all have spotty things about them like releasing the 1969 version of Mr Reporter on Face to Face instead of the 1966 one. And they still haven't released Dave's cancelled solo album yet, that Sanctuary said they going to do.
Re: early kinks
how do you guys like the new player I have on the site? You can listen to everything in the playlist all at once and some other nice features.
Re: early kinks
The new player is very nice. Thanks!
Re: early kinks
That is pretty awesome. Did it come in a picture sleeve?
Waterloo Sunset has some of the best arranged harmonies on a pop record. Those La La La's, gives me chills. The Ooo's sound like crystal clear water.
Re: early kinks
unfortunately i didn't get the picture sleeve.
those la's are certainly sublime. how bout the la's on death of a clown? provided by ray's wife rasa i believe.
THIS SHIT IS FRIDAY FOLKS!!!
john d on rickenbacker 12?
huzzah!
Re: early kinks
I am going to this!
I think if I don't Will might hunt me down and kill me.
Or not.
