Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: one of the best ! Comment: "something else' by THE KINKS is a phenomenal cd! the songs tell tales of many different class-people places and the suttle enjoyments of every day life.."afternoon tea"..The wit and humour of Ray Davies is so true to form with the jaunty song"Harry Rag"-"tom's old ma is a dying lass soon theyll reckon she'll be pushin up the grass and her bones mite shake and her skin mite sag as though shes got the strength to have a Harry rag"..need I write more. This is true Genius at best! Waterloo sunset ai another great track on this cd..and boy that is a lovely song.."everyday i look out the world from my window..but chilly chilly is the evening time..waterloo sunsets fine.." MARVELOUS!!! this is a great cd for any one intrested in classic english writing!! Customer Rating: Summary: To counterbalance the previous review Comment: The previous reviewer's remark about Sanctuary "blowing it" is worth noting. But I think it is important, for anyone approaching the Kinks' catalog, to realize that this is probably the band's single best album---and that is saying something. And whatever its inferiorities to the Japanese import referred to in the previous review, I will attest that this CD sounds fine to my ears, contains all sorts of delightful bonus material, and is, unlike many Japanese imports, readily affordable. A newcomer to this band looking up the Kinks on Amazon.com would, up until now, see this particular record---a record that begins with "David Watts," ends with "Waterloo Sunset" (before the bonus material starts), and doesn't flag between those two rather dizzy peaks---slapped with a two-star review. This could lead to unthinkable consequences. Someone might buy *Come Dancing* instead, base his or her opinion of the Kinks on THAT, and never experience the pleasure of hearing one of the best albums of 1967---a year that witnessed as many, or more, great albums than any other in rock history. Consumer warnings of the audiophile variety have their place, but it's important that buyers know where to start. Start HERE, with *Something Else*, whether this version, the Japanese version, or an 8-track. It is an album no serious collection should lack. Customer Rating: Summary: Sanctuary blew it - Avoid This CD Comment: I purchased this CD thinking it would be the latest and greatest as far as "Something Else..." was concerned. Unfortunately, not only was I disappointed with the mix, (compare "Situation Vacant" to the Japanese Stereo version released several years earlier), but I was also shocked to hear several tracks ending abruptly with crude fade-outs. "Autumn Almanac" sounded far better on the "Kinks Kronikles" set from 1990 - not to mention I got to hear Ray's final "yes" lyrics and Dave's backward guitar lines. Sanctuary blew it! More Reviews
