I didn't really get into them in a big way until I was in my early 20s, but after latching onto Kinks Kronikles, a treasure trove of fantastic songs, I was seriously hooked. I'd certainly rank Ray Davies among the best tunesmiths to emerge in the '60s, and even Dave Davies came up with a few klassiks, particularly Death of a Clown and Mindless Child of Motherhood.Fred W.

Joseph, I'm not sure if that recording of Better Things is off the original vinyl or not -my ear is not that finely tuned! But it sure sounded good.<br /><br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-28210450857130249332010-12-05T02:55:08.819-06:002010-12-05T02:55:08.819-06:00The Kinks seem to be so under-appreciated by every...The Kinks seem to be so under-appreciated by everyone except for big music lovers (meaning that casual music fans remember little past Lola and Come Dancing).<br /><br />The version of 'Better Things' you have embedded sounds like it's straight from vinyl - is it true?<br /><br />Thanks for the GREAT blog - I always check in.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267401771086411957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-5594754332997422522010-12-04T16:59:54.788-06:002010-12-04T16:59:54.788-06:00LOve this blog, love the Kinks, too.

And Better Things is a bit of a lost classic.
