The Kinks' Schoolboys In Disgrace

I am a long-time Kinks fan. This is one of their "concept" albums--the best in my booklet. I was fortunate enough to see them (Asbury Park, NJ, 1977) on tour a year after this album came out. They performed some choice nuggets from the record.

If you want to know more about the Kinks, I'd suggest acquiring Celluloid Heroes (a double album, half live and half studio), Muswell Hillbillies, or Kinks Kronikles. Here are some slideos from Schoolboys. . . No More Looking Back is a wonderful song, with absolutely amazing guitar work from Dave Davies, and great writing and vocals from brother Ray.
