The First Great Kinks Album! OK well obviously that’s entirely up to debate and purely a matter of opinion, but wow if this album doesn’t deliver one fine listening experience. Everything — the songwriting, vocals, musicianship, album production — is elevated to an entirely new level with Face To Face. 1966 was a good year…

Even at a young age, I began to recognize the massively awesome appeal of doe-eyed, curvy brunettes, one which has stayed with me until this very day. I mean honestly, was there ever a prettier actress than Annette in Babes…
