Ep. 14: Percy (1971)

Season 1 · Episode 14

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 • Duration 56:13

In this final episode of Season One of Thoroughly Kinky, Liam (host) and Adam (guest) take a look at the Kinks' soundtrack album, Percy, and ask: is it a popcorn classic?

Percy (album) was released on the 26th of March 1971, following the film's release. The film's plot concerns Edwin Anthony (Hywell Bennett), a man who is the beneficiary of the world's first penis transplant.

The album was The Kinks' final release under the label Pye Records. Season Two of Thoroughly Kinky will follow their work under their next label, RCA records.

Ep. 13: Bonus Tracks (1969-70)

Season 1 · Episode 9

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 52:33

In this episode, your hosts Adam (expert) and Liam (newbie) cover rare Kinks songs from 1969-70 which never appeared on any full album release.

These tracks include the singles Plastic Man and Hold My Hand, the latter being Dave Davies' fourth solo single.

We discuss the merits of the available Dave material from this period and why his planned solo LP failed to materialize. In addition, we look at other Kinks songs from this era and ask whether it matches the quality that made it onto the 1969-70 albums.

Ep. 12: Lola (1970)

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 • Duration 57:27

The Kinks' concept album Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround Part One was released on the 27th of November, 1970.

The LP featured two hit singles: the titular track, Lola (a top 10 song in the UK and the US) and Apeman (which made it to No. 5 in the UK). The single Lola marked the start of the band's second wave of success in the USA, after having been banned from there for four years (1965-9).

Your hosts Adam (Kinks expert) and Liam (Kinks beginner) go through each track of the album, and ask themselves how the songs complement the concept of the concept album.

Ep. 11: Arthur (1969)

Season 1 · Episode 11

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 48:38

The Kinks' seventh studio album, Arthur, was released on the 10th of October, 1969. It was intended to be the soundtrack for a TV drama of the same name.

The full title of the album is Arthur Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire, which indicates the way that the series intended to catalogue British history in the story of its protagonist, Arthur Morgan, and his family. Due to budgetary issues, this series never made it past the script phase.

The album features the singles Victoria, Drivin' and Shangri-La. The album and its singles failed to chart. Your hosts Adam (expert) and Liam (newbie) go through the album track by track, and ask themselves what the experience of watching Arthur might have been like.

Ep. 10: Village Green Bonus Tracks (1968)

Season 1 · Episode 10

Wednesday, April 10, 2024 • Duration 43:16

This episode revisits the year of 1968, covering the bonus tracks which were included on the 2018 "Super Deluxe" edition of The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society.

Some tracks were recorded by the Kinks in this year which never made it onto an LP release, including their classic single Days (which reached No. 12 in the UK chart in June) and Wonder Boy (which only reached No. 36, in April).

This collection of bonus tracks also includes rare recordings made by the Kinks for TV and film: namely Where Did My Spring Go, Til Death Us Do Part and When I Turn Off The Living Room Light.

Join your hosts Adam (the expert) and Liam (the neophyte) as they browse the bonus tracks on the VGPS Super Deluxe edition and decide whether they achieve the status of "lost classics".

Ep. 9: Village Green (1968)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 • Duration 58:02

Episode nine of Thoroughly Kinky covers the band's 1968 magnum opus, The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society. The album was released on the 22nd of November 1968 and it was their sixth studio album. The LP includes such popular songs as Do You Remember Walter, Picture Book and Animal Farm. No single was released from this album with the exceptions of Starstruck in Europe and the title track in the US

The album received a lukewarm reception in 1968 but has since grown to become a standard choice for "favourite Kinks album" among fans. As usual, your hosts Adam (the megafan) and Liam (the newbie) go through the album track by track. Does it live up to its reputation?

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, March 27, 2024 • Duration 45:42

This episode runs through the classic Kinks A-sides and B-sides of the years 1966 and 1967. These appeared as singles only and never found a home on any contemporary LP, but were collected on the 1998 CD releases of Face to Face and Something Else.

Among this pile of tracks are the masterpieces I'm Not Like Everybody Else, Dead End Street and Autumn Almanac. Join Adam (the Kinks guru) and Liam (the Kinks shishya) as they go through the bonus tracks and give their unvarnished opinions.

Ep. 7: Something Else (1967)

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 • Duration 38:26

Something Else was the Kinks' fifth studio album, released by Pye Records on the 15th September 1967. It marked a move towards baroque pop and music hall that would become their beloved late-sixties sound. Much of this was influenced by the addition of Nicky Hopkins to the studio band.

Something Else was released on the back of Waterloo Sunset and Death of a Clown, which were successful single releases. The album sold poorly, however, and the band suffered from interpersonal conflict.

Adam (the expert) and Liam (the rookie) go through it track by track and offer their honest opinions. Along the way they talk about the Davies' childhood, Dave Davies' daughter Tracy, Ray Davies' 1966 mental breakdown and more.

Face to Face was the Kinks' fourth studio album, released by Pye Records on the 28th October 1966.

Ep. 5: The Kink Kontroversy (1965)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 • Duration 42:06

The Kink Kontroversy was the Kinks' third studio album, released on the 26th November 1965. That's just two months after their '65 EP, Kwyet Kinks, which was the subject of episode four. It features the UK top-ten hit Till the End of the Day, which was paired with Where Have All the Good Times Gone on the B-side. The latter was made famous by David Bowie on his 1973 album Pinups.

The Kink Kontroversy is regarded as a transitional album in the band's discography. In this episode, Adam (the expert) and Liam (the newbie) go through it track by track and ask themselves: was this the start of the golden age of the Kinks? After that, they cover the bonus tracks which were bundled with the 1998 CD re-release of the LP, including their UK top-five hit, Dedicated Follower of Fashion.
