The album takes its name and all four tracks from the Kinksize Session EP, adding two tracks left off the US version of their debut LP ("I'm a Lover Not a Fighter" and "Revenge") and their two recent hit singles ("All Day and All of the Night" and "Tired of Waiting for You") and their respective B-sides ("I Gotta Move" and "Come On Now").

This was the Kinks' second-most successful album of the 1960s in the US, reaching #13 (Greatest Hits!, a compilation album, reached #9).[3]

The album was issued in the US and Canada in mono and stereo versions.[4] It was reissued once on cassette in the US in 1988 and once on CD in Japan in 2018, but has otherwise remained out of print since 1988.[4] Selected tracks off the album are currently available on the extended CD version of Kinks.


Reception


The album has been critiqued as a clear cash-grab by Reprise, but the actual songs included have been praised as "the best parts of the group's work in England", with Bruce Eder of AllMusic writing, "this record rocks, showing off the better sides of the group's R&B output and early, formative, Beatles-influenced experiments as well."[2]
