The Kink Kontroversy
Publié le 26 Novembre 1965
The Kink Kontroversy est un album des Kinks sorti en 1965. C'est un album de transition qui mêle les influences blues (Milk Cow Blues), des variations sur les hits des débuts (Till the End of the Day) et le futur style de composition de Ray Davies (I'm on an Island). Le titre fait référence à la réputation du groupe sur scène (bagarres et émeutes en Europe, interdit de séjour aux États-Unis).
