Friday On My Mind 13: RIP Pete Quaife

Neither of these two songs was originally going to be featured in this series (despite them being the progenitors of heavy metal.)
However, the sad death recently of founder member Pete Quaife and the consequent possible unsuitability of the video for a Kinks song that I did intend to include meant I lean this week towards these early examples of his work with The Kinks.
The first is a rather rough live recording.
The second is from the studio.
Pete Quaife; 31/12/43–23/6/10. So it goes.

[...] The BBC apparently took exception to this promotional film at the time as it was “in bad taste.” (You can see why I didn’t want to post it in the week Pete Quaife died.) [...]
