    My god the instrumentation on this album is the absolute best. Several sounds all at once but each is perfectly balanced, it’s all just…too good. Superlative. Largely acoustic guitars and other anastruments - clarinets, oboes, piano…it’s perfect. Vinyl is a tad flat, I tend to load the treble somewhat but it’s all there, it’s majestic.

      An album every rock fan should hear at least once. One of The Kinks' best!

        Another must-own album by The Kinks. Yes sir. Ten yet?
        Just noticed I have two copies of this. Both Rockways, but one has the pocket for the record on the right side of the gatefold, the other has the pocket on the left side. Weird.

          Amazing album, varied and layered. Should get a lot more attention than it does.
