DAVE DAVIES "the great lost Dave Davies album" cd, 2019
no album cover art
was recorded back in 1969 but not released.
Pye label opting to release "Arthur" by the band (Kinks)
all songs have been released in dribs and drabs over the decades on various
reissues by the band as bonus tracks.
its the first time however that this has been released in its original form.
comes as a bonus disk as part of the 50th Anniversary release of the Arthur album.
never thought much overall of Dave as a vocalist and this does nothing to change that
however, the songs in their own right are strong enough to stand despite that.
in the linear notes for the album Dave acknowledges that he hasn't heard these tracks
in fifty years, Ray however is a bit more open, and I quote: "hearing Dave's songs after all
this time I find them quite moving because they were like the back story of what we were
going through at the time", unquote: his comments are still a bit cryptic IMO but what the heck.
I love half this album, like the rest of it.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
