The Kink Kontroversy
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
The Kink Kontroversy · This third studio album by the Kinks was released on 26 November 1965 by Pye Records in England. Shel Talmy was the producer. The title mocks the bad reputation the group had acquired the year before, with fights on stage and riots at concerts in Europe. As a result the band was banned from performing in the United States.
It is a transitional record. Milk Cow Blues is still strongly influenced by the blues, and Till the End of the Day resembles the powerful hits of the preceding years. Songs such as The World Keeps Going Round and I'm on an Island already point ahead to the way Ray Davies would later write. Till the End of the Day became a big hit in England. AllMusic called the album the moment when the Kinks grew up, with more considered work than their raw beginnings.
