Kinks Size
The Kinks
Discográfica: Reprise · Estudio de grabación: Pye and IBC, London · Productor: Shel Talmy
Kinks-Size is a studio album by the English rock band the Kinks. Released in the United States and Canada in March 1965,[a] it was their second album issued on Reprise Records.[6] It peaked at number 13 on the Billboard album chart in the third week of June 1965,[7] the same week the Kinks began their first US tour.[6] It is the Kinks` fourth-highest-charting album on the Billboard album chart and the second-highest of their 1960s albums.[8][b] The album ranked number 78 on Billboard`s year-end album chart for 1965.
Reprise issued the album to capitalise on the nation-wide publicity generated by the band`s February 1965 appearance on the musical variety programme Hullabaloo.[9] The album had no direct analogue outside of the US market, but instead collected songs from the UK EP Kinksize Session, two songs which had been left off of the US version of the band`s debut LP and both the A- and B-sides of the "All Day and All of the Night" and "Tired of Waiting for You" singles.[6] All of its songs were recorded at Pye Studios in London, between August and December 1964, though Dave Davies also overdubbed an electric guitar contribution to "Tired of Waiting for You" at IBC Studios in London.[10]

The album has been critiqued as a clear cash-grab by Reprise, but the actual songs included have been praised as "the best parts of the group`s work in England", with Bruce Eder of AllMusic writing, "this record rocks, showing off the better sides of the group`s R&B output and early, formative, Beatles-influenced experiments as well."[2]
