Soap Opera (2023 Reissue)
The Kinksâ fourteenth studio album, from 1975, and a continuation of the bandâs theatrical musical style from Preservation Acts 1 & 2.
Soap Opera is the grandest concept album the Kinks ever made, in which Ray Davies' tackled the topic of how âOrdinary peopleâ escape the doldrums with dreams of stardoms. In it, a musician called âStarmakerâ swaps lives with an ordinary man named Norman to better understand life.
Standout tracks are âA Face In The Crowdâ, âUnderneath The Neon Signâ and the excellent âYou Canât Stop The Musicâ.
A faithfully reproduced gatefold heavyweight black 1LP, this is the albumâs first re-press, apart from a limited edition US pressing in 2008, since the original LP release.
Another successful release, especially in the United States where it charted at #45.
