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 Kinks: All Day And All Of The Night – Live

The second is from the studio.

The Kinks: You Really Got Me

Pete Quaife; 31/12/43 – 23/6/10. So it goes.
