I've been meaning to upload some of these for awhile; one of the great '60s British groups, and '70s, and '80s, and... you get the idea.
I'm a bit rusty at this. Starting in early 1965 but probably on sale in late 1964 The Kinks debut as 'Good Guys' in Rave magazine...
And here are some early Beat Instrumental appearances starting with Dave as their Player Of the Month!...
The last two are from hard cover annuals for Teen Beat and Top Pop Stars 1965-66. If you open them in another window and then double-click on them and choose 'view image' you can see them much larger.
I'll try to get some of the others I had gotten ready long ago and not managed to come up with anything much to say about, such as the Small Faces, Pretty Things and early Pink Floyd up soon. I don't really clip these by the way, the magazines stay complete as nature intends.

You know, whilst it was the likes of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin that really cranked up the volume and paved the way for heavy metal, I think the likes of the Kinks, and even the Beatles with one song, also played a role, maybe just a tiny one, in starting that ball rolling...
Dave Davies lead guitar was the loudest thing heard out of radio sets for quite awhile when You Really Got Me appeared on the scene. Dave just saw a CD titled 'Decade' released... http://www.davedavies.com/
