The Kinks - Soap Opera - LP

Gatefold 180 Gram Black Vinyl LP

The Kinks' fourteenth studio album, from 1975, continues the band's theatrical run begun with Preservation Acts 1 & 2. Soap Opera is the grandest concept album the Kinks ever made, with Ray Davies exploring how "ordinary people" escape the doldrums by dreaming of stardom: a musician called Starmaker swaps lives with an ordinary man named Norman to better understand life. Standout tracks include "A Face in the Crowd," "Underneath the Neon Sign" and "You Can't Stop the Music." A faithfully reproduced gatefold heavyweight black LP.
