Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One is the eighth studio album by The Kinks, one of the most influential rock acts of all time, and was recorded and released in 1970. A concept album, it is a satirical appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and life on the road.

This classic album appeared during a transitional period for the Kinks and was a critical and commercial success. The LP 50th-anniversary release features the newly remastered original stereo album on black heavyweight vinyl in a carefully restored and replicated original gatefold sleeve. It includes a 12” booklet with comprehensive notes, new band quotes, rare photos, and memorabilia.

The album features hit singles like "Lola" and "Apeman". Produced in association with The Kinks, with audio and visual content curated by Ray Davies, this is the first time the album has been remastered and re-issued since the mid-1980s.

The Deluxe 2CD edition of the 50th-anniversary hardback book contains several previously unreleased track versions. Produced in association with The Kinks, with audio and visual content curated by Ray Davies, it contains the original album remastered from original HD master tapes, alternate mono/stereo versions and mixes, new remixes, live and film tracks.

The CD 50th-anniversary Digipack release contains the original album remastered from original HD master tapes, alternate mono track versions, and two new Ray Davies mixes. It includes a booklet with comprehensive notes, new band quotes, rare photos, and memorabilia.
