Raw? As in humans playing musical instruments rather than compressed, mechanical sampled sounds? You mean a human voice instead of auto-tune? Or do you mean raw in some other way?
"I am the image maker ! I am the magic maker ! I can turn even the most ordinary man in the world into a star !" To prove my point ... I'm goin to find the most mundane little man - and turn him into a celebrity !"
Worth way more than a dime of weed. Living in NYC during the 1970's/80's this song got me through many a morning/evening rush on the BMT line N and RR trains. No shit. Hope the weed was good.
Saw them perform this at the University of Maryland, way back in the late 70's!!!!! Unforgettable!!!!!
Don't know why this record didn't get the recognition it deserves. I loved the Soap Opera when it came out and I still do.
Thanks to TH-cam discovering some Kinks I've never heard before.
there always seems to just be more and more. love it
Toad Hall used to play this in the mid 70's on the old KDKB. The greatest morning man on radio......
One of the best works put out in the 70s...
The Kinks = Rock and Roll
that second half is crazy good
You get a gold star for uploading songs from Soap Opera.
"Cool it baby I've got plenty of time"
60s: best The Kinks era...
So raw but every bote and word is perfect

Another great album I lost! Probably traded it for a bag of weed...

BOWIE INFLUENCE
If anything the kinks influenced bowie
Really?!
I'd say it went the other way...and so would Bowie.
He's have blown Ray to write a song like Waterloo Sunset...
