Story & Background
This 1966 Reprise pressing of *Face to Face* is intrinsically linked to the infamous American Federation of Musicians ban, which prevented The Kinks from performing in the United States from 1965 to 1969. Without promotional tours, Reprise Records had to adopt unique marketing strategies, often re-arranging tracklists or choosing specific singles for the American market. The album therefore had to establish itself solely through its music; Ray Davies' subtle observations and his emerging conceptual style spoke for themselves from the vinyl's groove, making this first pressing a powerful testament to their influence and ability to overcome adversity.
