From Kinda Kinks (1965). Kinda Kinks is the second studio album by the English rock band the Kinks, released on 5 March 1965 by Pye Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Casino through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Kinks' other songs from Kinda Kinks, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
