4 out of 5 stars Best Dave Davies Solo Get Even Better.......2004-03-28

First point. This was and still is an excellent rock and roll record. It was, after a long wait, the first "official" solo release for Dave Davies. I've always thought this record was a catalyst for the Kinks return to their rock and roll roots in the late 70's and early 80's. Today, it is still one of the most kick-ass records I've ever heard, made only better on this Japanese K-24 pressing. Though expensive, it is well worth the investment for anyone who enjoys the harder rocking Kinks personality and in particular the contributions of Dave Davies and his guitar and vocals. I have never heard these songs sound so dynamic. It literally explodes out of a good sound system. The multi-layered sound (all instruments played by Dave) sounds more defined than previously released versions yet still retains its huge "wall of sound". Added bonus song, "Wild Man" is a welcome addition and fits in nicely with the other songs. Just sit back and rock with this one from one of the true originators of hard rock guitar.

4 out of 5 stars A Kink Alone.......2001-11-03

Dave's solo debut was something of a surprise to most fans. While many Kinks fans knew he was capable at writing material of the same quality as brother Ray, few really thought that Dave would finally release a solo album. This is truly a solo album as Dave plays and sings nearly everything himself. The sound quality on this remastered edition of AFL13062 is outstanding.

Although Dave's later albums would wildly vary in quality, his debut has aged remarkably well. The best moments recall his strong contribution to (although intermittant)The Kinks albums. Dave's guitar playing is in top form throughout. In many respects,AFL13062 allowed Dave to left off some creative steam after a period of time with The Kinks where he was reduced to little more than a sideman.
