I love this album. This is the first Kinks album I purchased on vinyl. I had a girlfriend name Vikki and loved playing "Victoria" even though it was a commentary about the British monarchy. I don't think this was a popular album here in the USA but I can picture this group of lads "Drivin' " around the Englush country side. I like their surfer reference ala the Beach Boys harmonies in the song "Australia". This is between a 4 and 5 for me but will leave it at 4 since I think the Kinks have better material on later albums.
