THE KINKS – Percy (2022 Reissue) – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl.

Percy is a 1971 film soundtrack for the British comedy film Percy performed by the English rock group the Kinks with additional orchestral arrangements conducted by Stanley Myers. It was released as the bands ninth official studio album. Davies wrote some hauntingly beautiful ballads and some solid blues and country as well for the forward thinking cult film.

Although virtually unseen in the United States, it was still popular enough to yield a sequel (Percy’s Progress), but its real impact came from its soundtrack. God’s Children and Animals in the Zoo have turned up on some career anthologies, but there’s a lot more to Percy than those two tracks. Completely is as fine a slow blues as the band ever recorded, with a sizzling performance by Dave Davies, ‘Dreams‘; is a solid rocker, even up alongside ‘Animals in the Zoo.’
