| Kelly, Paul - Under the Sun
|
(Mushroom RML-53248 Aus-87 VG+ 300:-)
Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly is a national institution in his homeland but sorely underappreciated abroad, due in part to the decidedly Australia-specific nature of his work.
"Under The Sun" is characterised by acoustically bright story songs and character-based tales with unlimited substance and displays Kelly’s knack for including history, nostalgia, and life’s little lessons in between his guitar playing . cementing him as one of the best storytellers in music.

| Kilburn & the High Roads
|
(Dawn DNLS-3065 UK-75 VG+ 375:-)
No band has ever sounded remotely like Kilburn & the High Roads. They were an oddity at the time, and they sound even stranger decades later, a glorious blend of distinctly British humor, freewheeling vaudevillian pop, musical theater, '50s rock & roll, jazz, and, of course, pub rock, which is the scene where they made their name.
Original UK pressing on Dawn, fully laminated picture sleeve. Nowadays rarely seen!

| King Crimson - USA
|
(Island ILPS-9316 UK-75 VG+ 375:-)
Led by Robert Fripp, one of the most revolutionary and cerebral guitarists in music, King Crimson have helped to define and develop both classic and New Prog. It may be Fripp's seemingly unquenchable need to find "the lost chord" that has driven the band through its extreme changes: bombastic, complex and possibly overstuffed '70s "Art Rock" on the one hand, and truly experimental sonic innovation with ties to early punk/New Wave outfits like Brian Eno and Talking Heads on the other.
A pretty dark little record from the waning mid 70s version of King Crimson – recorded on tour in the US by a quartet of David Cross, Bill Bruford, John Wetton, and Robert Fripp. The tracks are mostly live takes of tunes from earlier albums – done in versions that are considerably more turgid than the originals, with lots of heavy guitar work.

| Kinks - Arthur or the Decline and Fall...
|
(Pye NSPL-18317 UK-69 VG/VG+ 600:-)
A true masterpiece of late 60s pop music - originally recorded for a TV special – and one of the Kinks' greatest albums ever!
The semi-concept album traces the woes, worries, and hopes of a British family, as one half is on the verge of emigration to Australia. The work comes out of the sort of songwriting that Ray Davies had been perfecting on albums like "Village Green" and "Something Else" – but the overall style is more sophisticated.
UK Stereo pressing; the fragile sleeve is graded VG - the vinyl is VG+ (no insert, though...)

| Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies
|
(RCA Victor SF-8243 UK-71 VG+ 500:-)
A key transitional album for The Kinks – a record that took them from the lighter "picture postcard" rock of their late 60s albums, into the headier concepts that would mark most of their early 70s work!
The concept here is fortunately a light one – a faux-hillbilly sort of groove, carried off by Ray and the group in a nice mix of London Muswell and East Tennessee. The tunes are nicely short and focused, with some older styles of music that almost give the record a Tom Waits-ish feel at times!
A previous owners name is stamped on the front/inside of sleeve.

| Kinks- Face to Face
|
(Pye NSPL.18149 UK-66 VG+ 1250:-)
Excellent work by The Kinks – cut right on the cusp of their earlier bluesier years, and their perfect picture postcard pop sides of the late 60s!
The album's got a number of groovy little tunes that virtually put the jangle in 60s pop – with impeccable writing by Ray Davies, and all those little twists and turns that make his songs so great. And the themes, styles, and overall presentation of the whole thing are really stretching out nicely – with a sense of wit and critique on British society that really have the group coming into their own!

| Kiss - Diamonds in the Dust
|
(Karton Records KARTON010 EU-22 VG+ 500:-)
Easily identified by its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, Kiss rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics.
A Picture Disc re-issue of an old bootleg. Released on Red, Blue & White vinyl and as a Picture Disc (this release). Limited edition of 300 handnumbered copies with Obi.

| Kiss - Originals
|
(Casablanca NBLP-7032 US-76 VG+ 5000:-)
A very cool package! This set documents the mid 70s Kiss phenomenon, and has their first 3 killer LPs of rock and roll excess: "Kiss", "Hotter Than Hell" and "Dressed To Kill".
First issue on the Casablanca label design without 'Records & Filmworks' under the name in logo. Includes a 16 page history of Kiss; six "wallet size" full-color Kiss rock superstar cards and a 'Kiss Army' sticker! The fragile cover shows some light wear.
