Brand New ~ Sealed! Special Edition Violet Vinyl LP Of The Fourth Album By The Kinks.
A major artistic breakthrough for Kinks’ songwriter Ray Davies, the ‘Face to Face’ LP represents the first full flowering of Davies’ use of narrative, observation, and wry social commentary in his songs. The album’s songs are rife with Davies’ sardonic wit, skewering the vapid Don Juan of “Dandy” and the self-absorption and hypocrisy of the wealthy elite on “House in the Country” and “Most Exclusive Residence for Sale”. Davies’ humanity is also on display in tracks such as “Rosy, Won’t You Please Come Home”, an unusual 1960s pop song that sided with the plight of parents against the cruelty of a rebellious child (a true harbinger of the Kinks’ growing affinity for unfashionable but timeless themes). Other highlights include “Sunny Afternoon”, the world-weary “Too Much on My Mind”, the foreboding “Rainy Day in June”, and the Eastern-tinged, enigmatic “Fancy”.

AMG –
One of the finest collections of pop songs released during the '60s. The Kink Kontroversy was a considerable leap forward in terms of quality, but it pales next to Face to Face, one of the finest collections of pop songs released during the '60s. Conceived as a loose concept album, Face to Face sees Ray Davies' fascination with English class and social structures flourish, as he creates a number of vivid character portraits. Davies' growth as a lyricist coincided with the Kinks' musical growth. Face to Face is filled with wonderful moments, whether it's the mocking Hawaiian guitars of the rocker "Holiday in Waikiki," the droning Eastern touches of "Fancy," the music hall shuffle of "Dandy," or the lazily rolling "Sunny Afternoon." And that only scratches the surface of the riches of Face to Face, which offers other classics like "Rosy Won't You Please Come Home," "Party Line," "Too Much on My Mind," "Rainy Day in June," and "Most Exclusive Residence for Sale," making the record one of the most distinctive and accomplished albums of its time.
