THINK VISUAL contains a few gems..."Lost and Found" and "How Are You" are highlights, while "Welcome To The Factory" and the title track share similar themes of bitterness and resentment towards the music industry. But there's one thing that's always bugged me about this album: the decision to use keyboards to approximate the sound of a horn section on a few tracks. Perhaps it was financially driven, perhaps you can blame it on cheesy 80's trends, but it was a dubious choice. Songs like "Welcome To Sleazy Town" and "The Video Shop" would have worked better with real horns. This pressing sounds fine, the vinyl actually sounds better than the CD I've had for decades, it's got a bit more oomph to the low end and the rhythm section sounds more robust. My copy plays nice and clean, with faint surface noise here and there. -
This is one of my favorite Kinks albums. I always read it wasn't well received and generally people didn't like it. After first hearing it I really don't understand why that was so.
