Reissue of the 1966 classic by the legendary Kinks. The Kinks, an English rock band founded by Ray and Dave Davies in 1964, was one of the spearheads of the 60s English scene, alongside the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and The Who. The band's music is now recognized as a major influence on artists like The Jam, Blur, and Oasis. It was with "You Really Got Me," a true anthem for the band, that their success began and continued until the end of the 60s. Deluxe editions offer remastered albums, numerous bonus tracks, mono and stereo versions, and rare or unreleased photos from the era. 'Face to Face' is the album where Ray Davies' personality and songwriting approach really took off. He describes his era and the society around him, all with a touch of humor. On some tracks, you can feel the influence of Bob Dylan (Too Much on My Mind or Dandy). The overall atmosphere is more peaceful than on the first three albums. 'Face to Face' features "Sunny Afternoon," one of the band's major hits. "The Kink Kontroversy was a considerable leap forward in terms of quality, but it pales in comparison to Face to Face, one of the finest collections of pop songs released in the '60s... Face to Face is filled with wonderful moments... the record is one of the most distinctive and accomplished albums of its time." --- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic ---.
