THE KINKS - Misfits (2024 Remastered) - LTD Edition Vinyl Record

Misfits by The Kinks is the seventeenth studio album from the legendary British rock band, released in May 1978. This album continues the mainstream rock direction introduced with 1977's Sleepwalker and marks a pivotal moment in the band's history, with significant personnel changes shaping its creation. Long time bassist John Dalton departed after Sleepwalker, though his influence remains on several tracks. His replacement, Andy Pyle, joined the band for this album, which also marked the last appearance of pianist John Gosling.

The album features iconic singles and standout tracks like "Misfits," "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy," "Live Life," and "In a Foreign Land." These songs delve deep into themes of alienation, resilience, and the challenges of everyday life, capturing the introspective and poignant song writing that The Kinks are renowned for.

Critics have hailed Misfits as one of The Kinks' most reflective and personal works, solidifying its place in their discography as a testament to the band's continued relevance and adaptability in the late 1970s rock scene. Now available on newly remastered heavyweight vinyl, Misfits offers a fresh and immersive experience of this classic album, making it a must-have for fans and collectors alike.
