The Kinks were all about the Wimpy bar


epub or mobi, with thanks to the original sharer

This was the first time that the direction Ray Davies wanted to take was really alienating some of his own band. Dave Davies thought the song was ‘beautifully haunting’ but Pete Quaife did not agree. ‘“Wonderboy” was horrible,’ said Quaife. ‘It sounded like Herman’s Hermits wanking. Jesus it was bad. I hated it. I remember recording it and doing the la-la-las and just thinking, “What kind of prissy sissy nonsense are we doing? We’re the guys that made ‘You Really Got Me’, for Chrissakes!”’ The song was slathered in harpsichords and ‘la-la-la’ backing vocals.

    I was wondering if you could tell me what you need to open epub and mobi files? I love your stuff, but can only read the pdfs. Thanks in advance.

      Dave,

      epubs are readable on many gadgets (e.g. ipad, nook, kobo etc) if you're reading on computer there are free apps, i use Adobe Digital Editions.
      mobi files are for kindles, again, if you are reading on pc/laptop there is also a free kindle for pc app.

      hope this helps,

      Johnny
