Muswell Hillbillies

The Kinks
Released 1971Rock
Deep cutPicked by a lifelong record collector

A warm, music-hall-tinged peak of working-class English songcraft. Charming and acclaimed. A cult favourite. Released in 1971, it's one of The Kinks's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
