Handy compilation of highlights from Ray's fist three solo albums. Another winner from Music Boomerang.
Hmm. Ray was one of the stellar stalwarts of the British Invasion. As I have almost never failed to mention, I saw The Kinks in my high school auditorium while I was still in high school.

Now, I am suddenly interested in this album. What do I do? Which of @Ojai Sam 's last two selections do I choose? Do I go with Maddy or Ray?

Yours Truly, Confused

Dear Confused,

The answer is very simple.

That's the rule here at Colliewood.

Seriously, they are both fine records. You can't go wrong either way.
 
Not that you asked, but here are some posts about the concert.


I saw The Kinks in a weird venue: George C. Marshall High School, Falls Church VA in the spring of 1971. I was just a kid but couldn't believe the superhuman Kinks were playing a high school.

Also, a recollection on Facebook:

Or at least, in this case, they played at local high schools.
Let’s take the wayback machine all the way back to this weekend in 1971. Yep, painful as this sounds, it was 50 fun-lovin’ years ago.
And at George C. Marshall High School, they were gearing up for two concerts by that seminal British group, the Kinks.

Falls Church, VA? Did Jerry Falwell picket the concert?

Think of VA as a scalene (not an isosceles) triangle with the base as its longest side.

The morons (you know, simple people of the earth and some grifters that might fairly be depicted in Porky's Revenge) were located in the Southwest sector of this scalene triangle, where Liberty University is situated. GCM HS (located in Falls Church) is at the top of the triangle, in the suburban area adjacent to our Nation's Capital.

This high school was depicted as one of the opponent football team schools in Remember the Titans. That is, we were a bastion of non-segregated schools in the early '70s.

The Vietnam War (a/k/a the police action) was losing ground. Richard Nixon was riding high but about to freefall from grace.

Jerry Falwell was barely getting his feet wet at the time. He may have been learning to un-picket his nose.

The Kinks were in some kind of legal trouble at the time, I think.

The short answer is, "Nyet, Comrade."
