Of course, the linchpin to this collection is \"Lola,\" Ray Davies's irresistibly vivid account of the charms of a seductive transvestite. Its daring (for the time) subject matter aside, \"Lola\" stands as one of the great singles of all time. Add to the list the almost as infectious \"Apeman,\" a slew of funny, shrewd, alienated-rock-star screeds (\"Top of the Tops,\" \"The Moneyground,\" \"Powerman\"), and a couple of memorable contributions from Ray's brother, Dave (\"Strangers,\" \"Rats\"), and you have the Kinks at their raucous, righteous, quirky quintessence. --Steven Stolder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53519640330614,"sku":"0075992745529","price":13.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_756596_846991_20241004054646.jpg?v=1728066233","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0075992745529-lola-versus-powerman-and-the-m","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
