• Track Listing

The great lost Dave Davies album made a big splash when it finally arrived in 2011 as "Hidden Treasures." Now, seven years after the release of that rapturously received comp of ’60s recordings, we are thrilled to welcome what amounts to a sequel: a collection of ’70s tracks recorded prior to 1980’s "AFL1-3603," Dave’s first official solo album. Tapes unearthed by Dave’s sons Simon and Martin "from under beds, in attics, in storage" yielded these newly mixed and mastered tracks. The fact is, Dave’s brother Ray was creating Kinks concept albums in the ’70s and felt that these songs didn’t fit those concepts—but there’s gem after shining lost gem here: "Cradle to the Grave," "Midnight Sun," "Islands," "Web of Time," "If You Are Leaving" and more. The fidelity is excellent, the guitar sounds are vintage Dave Davies…another platter of musical manna from heaven for Kinks and Dave Davies fans! (13 tracks on CD, 11 on vinyl.) Red River.
