KINKS" Dave Davies' Kinkdom--Hidden Treasures 2011
Share your love of the brothers...even if there was often no love lost between the boys!
I have a Dave Davies album that I can't find listed...possibly a boot!?

"Dave Davies: I love my brother...
I just can’t stand to be with him"
Dave Davies of Sixties superstars the Kinks talks to Neil McCormick about his 'new’ album – and the endless feuding with older sibling Ray Davies.
-The Telegraph
Dave Davies shuffles into a north London café looking more like a tramp than a rock star. A moth-eaten black woollen cap covers a half-bald pate and stringy, flyaway, grey hair. His long black coat may once have had a certain showbusiness flair, but it has seen better decades and now sags sadly around his shoulders. No one glances his way, there are no whispers of recognition.
We seem a very long way from the swinging Sixties, from You Really Got Me and Waterloo Sunset, when he was a hot lead-guitarist in the British beat boom, the feisty younger half of a pair of fighting brothers in a band who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Beatles, the Stones and the Who. “I try not to think about those days,” says Davies of his decades with the Kinks. “When I hear it on the radio, I get excited, until you think about the way things really were – the bad contracts, the arguments, beating people up, getting beaten up, all the s---. But, in the end, hopefully, it will only be the music that is left.”
Davies talks in a halting, slow monotone, the only noticeable after-effect of a stroke he suffered in 2004. He’s still playing guitar and occasionally performing, living in Devon, making music with a new-age spiritual bent. Spend some time in his company, and it is not so much that the years start to fall away as that his inner self begins to be revealed. It becomes apparent that, at 64, he has grown into quite a lovely, warm and wise old fellow.
“I felt that I was indestructible, but rock and roll does that, you strap on that guitar and think, 'F--- the world.’ I wasn’t a very academic kid, and music was the way for all that feeling and angst and sex and love and anger to be channelled.”
Dave has always been “the other Kink”, and it is his dysfunctional relationship with his more famous, more acclaimed and, arguably, more accomplished brother that has come to define him in the public’s eye. They could be the prototype for the Gallagher brothers, their bickering, battling relationship so mutually dependent and disharmonious that, even though the Kinks disbanded in 1996, Ray still constantly hovers at the edges of conversation, alluded to directly and indirectly.

Dave Davies' 2011 release, the first ever compilation of Dave's work for the Kinks. Hidden Treasures combines all his great work for the band as well as his highly under-rated solo material. Features artwork by award winning designer Phil Smee and notes by Kinks fan club's Russell Smith. The album contains a complete selection of well know Davies compositions as well as rare mono and alternative takes from Dave's career with the band and on his own and hopes to remind the listener of the great work done by the man.
A MUST HAVE!

"Dave Davies Hidden Treasures has probably taken as much work to
pulling together as the Picture Book box set did. In my humble opinion it a very important release. Yes, strictly speaking it is a compilation - but, in reality it is far more than that and certainty more important and should not be considered just another arbitrary rounding-up-of-tracks that the Kinks down the years have been victim to. Whilst it will not have quite the impact now, had it been released back in 2002 or 2004, it is still a very important release not least because it pieces together one of last enigmas in the Kinks catalogue, the long overdue and eagerly awaited recordings that were considered and recorded for Davies Davies's legendary unreleased 1969 solo album, including the remaining unreleased tracks.
Thoughtfully compiled it includes outtakes, rarities, alternate mixes, as well as all of Dave Davies's Pye singles (in pristine quality) from 1967 when Death of a Clown rode high in the charts, until 1969 when the first phase of his solo career was put on hold. The entire album is *newly* mastered by Andrew Sandoval (the sound quality is gorgeous and makes it stands apart from what has gone before on that point alone) an extensively researched 7000-word liner note essay written by yours truly, along with a very detailed track and recording annotations provided and prepared by Doug Hinman. All housed in a beautifully designed package, containing rare images and memorabilia throughout. In my humble opinion it is probably the best prepared and researched Kinks archive release released to date.
I'm not going to spoil all the surprises, but I will say the alternate version of Mr. Reporter is not the 1998 remix, but a 1969 alternate version."

While Smile, Some Girls (and I am a Stones fan), and the Pink Floyd reissues get all the press, this is an absolutely indispensable reissue. Us Kultists knew all along the enormity of what Dave brought to the Kinks. Worth the wait? Words cannot express... Stop reading and buy. " -Robert Furem/Amazon
