Appreciation – The Kinks

There can be, I have found, few harder yet more enjoyable tasks in putting together an hour of radio than The Kinks. Selecting great songwriting and playing from 30 abundant years. Appreciation on Paekakariki 88.2FM avoids the two hours of hit records they created and instead dig deep into 16 of their 24 studio albums, beginning in 1964 and ending in 1994. Here’s the track listing and show below.
