“Act Nice and Gentle” (1967) – The Kinks

“Act Nice and  Gentle” (1967) – The Kinks * Written by Ray Davies * 45: “Waterloo Sunset” / “Act Nice and Gentle” * Produced by Shel Talmy * Label: Pye

Jug-rock flipside for the UK version of the Kinks’ “Waterloo Sunset” single. This is a song that would have suited the Lovin’ Spoonful nicely, but perhaps they’re the ones that inspired Ray Davies. Covered by the Black Keys in 2004, who demonstrate it to be suitable sludge material.
