A reunion at this stage would not only be pointless, but humiliating and depressing for everyone involved.
I absolutely agree.
The Kinks are forgotten by the general public. They would have to play for a handful of fans in some tiny spot in Soho. The Kinks were always dwarfs compared to the Stones, Beatles, The Who. A couple of good songs they had, but so did the Searchers.

For a few years ('64-'68) they weren't exactly dwarves, I think they had about as many hits as the Stones and Beatles during that period (give or take a few).

Perhaps they should do a new LP and call it SHOT IN THE LEG.

It might be great publicity. No black eye for New Orleans, that's just normal.

Q: What did Ray say when he got shot?
A: "You Really Got Me!"

Indeed. Like the Stones or The Who they were part of the "british invasion". But for the Stones and The Who this was only a starting point, for The Kinks however it turned out to be a dead end street. Their career in the 70s was a full catastrophe (at least sales-wise).

I’ve always wondered what happened to The Kinks’ record-sales in the U.K. after around 1970. Their LP’s stopped charting all together. How can a group suddenly go from regularly having top-ten singles and LP’s, to barely registering in their home nation? Especially, considering they’re so London-centric.

Ha Ha. Ray's book "Americana" takes you through the entire experience very graphically. He was not given a fair shake by New Orleans. His injury and recovery (both physical and mental) were horrific. Highly recommend.

My guess would be promo for the soon-to-be-unveiled 50th Anniversary edition of ARTHUR or: THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

It's definitely a highlight
