By the time these tracks were recorded, the Davies brothers were experienced players of R&B. Ray had played guitar with Hamilton King's Blues Messengers since early 1963, whilst brother Dave's outfit the Ramrods specialised in more raucous R&B numbers. These performances from their first US tour find the Kinks at the top of their game as an R&B group: four of the songs are sung by Dave with Ray contributing only Got Love If You Want It. Long Tall Shorty is Dave backed by the Shindogs, fiery organ solo courtesy of Billy Preston.
