I recently asked a friend of mine who has been a Kink Krazy since I've known
him ('78) what his favorite Kinks records were. He cited Arthur, Lola vs.
Powerman, and-- interestingly-- Word of Mouth. I'm not the Kinks fan that
you Kinks fans are, but I got WOM when it came out, and loved it, and have
been fond of it ever since.
I note no one has cited Think Visual. On merit, as I recall.
