Designed to capitalize on the success of the epochal “You Really Got Me” single and padded out with covers of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and others, the Kinks first full-length album is an agreeably slapdash affair that only hints at the latent greatness that would shortly emerge. By and large, there isn’t too terribly much here to distinguish the nascent Kinks from the legions of British bands doing similar takes on American R&B in 1964, but when Ray unobtrusively slips in the classic original “Stop Your Sobbing” on the second side, the sound of slow gestating genius is unmistakable.
