The Kinks – LIVE IN NEW YORK 1972 Compact Disc Digi

The Kinks found themselves without a record deal after scoring one of the biggest hits of their career when their contracts lapsed with labels on both sides of the Atlantic. The band rebounded nicely, signing a five-album deal with RCA Records in 1971 starting with Muswell Hillbillies and the following year’s Everybody’s In Show Biz. The former LP found only modest success, but the latter performed better, achieving a #70 chart peak. In 1972, The Kinks crossed the Atlantic for the third year running since their 1965-69 ban and since hitting big with the sexually ambiguous Lola. Busily promoting their latest album and augmented by a trusted horn section, Davies and co. rip through a rock ‘n’ roll medley, back catalogue classics and highlights from their new album with plenty of humorous interplay and a riveted NY audience.  London Calling looks back at this classic concert from SUNY State University, Binghampton, New York on November 9, 1972 with a fully restored and professionally remastered original WLIR-FM broadcast. Presented with background notes and timeline photos.
