Fades in Slowly

While not exactly unsung heroes, The Kinks nevertheless still don’t get the level of respect they deserve for being completely wonderful. English music at its absolute best.

This is their second (of three) BBC session, recorded on 1st July, 1968 and broadcast one week later. Listed as a Peel session in Ken Garner’s magnificent opus, this was clearly originally broadcast by Pete Drummond, not that that’s a bad thing.
