Kinks - Low Budget

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ARISTA 1979

Arista 201 146 made in Holland.

Vinyl EX. Cover VG.

Low Budget doesn't have a narrative like Preservation or Soap Opera, but Ray Davies cleverly designed the album as a sly satire of the recession and oil crisis that gripped America in the late '70s -- thereby satisfying his need to be a wry social commentator while giving American audiences a hook to identify with. It was a clever move that worked; not only did Low Budget become their highest-charting American album (not counting the 1966 Greatest Hits compilation), but it was also a fine set of arena rock, one of the better mainstream hard rock albums of its time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kinks
