The AOR comment is right, because what Clive probably said to the upside-down Davies, was: write something like what the radio is playing these days (Segerisms indeed). And Ray went and did so.<br /><br />Actually, you do more of a disservice to brother Dave, whose guitar sounds great on Sleepwalker, and, what's more, those classic Kinks tracks you're so on about sounded el crappo on any stereo of the era not bought in a dept. store. Sleepwalker and Misfits at least sound like studio professionals were involved.<br /><br />Arthur has to be the greatest album with the worst recording in rock music history. Granted, the punkies would eschew all that bourgeois 'sound' stuff, but those of us with our ears, uh, enhanced, were sure into it back in those days when vinyl was king.Donald Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391024449222256377noreply@blogger.com
