About this product

Product Information

Ray Davies: Not Like Everybody Else is a critical biography of Ray Davies, with a focus on his music and his times. The book studies Davies' work from the Kinks' first singles through his 2006 solo album, from his rock musicals in the early 1970s to his one-man stage show in the 1990s, and from his films to his autobiography. Based on interviews with his closest associates, as well as studies of the recordings themselves, this book creates the most thorough picture of Davies' work to date. Kitts situates Davies' work in the context of the British Invasion and the growth of rock in the '60s and '70s, and in the larger context of English cultural history. For fans of rock music and the music of the Kinks, this book is a must have. It will finally place this legendary invator in the pantheon of the great rock artists of the past half-century. Thomas M. Kitts, Professor of English and Chair of the Division of English/Speech at St. John's University, NY, is the co-editor of Living on a Thin Line: Crossing Aesthetic Borders with The Kinks, the author of The Theatrical Life of George Henry Boker, articles on American literature and popular culture, reviews of books, CDs, and performances, and a play Gypsies. He is the book review editor of Popular Music and Society and the editor of The Mid-Atlantic Almanack.

    Shipping is really slow, which is ok if you're happy to wait a month after the advertised estimated arrival date, which I usually am. Communication from seller is poor, the only updates are from Ebay (once the item is finally shipped). Other than that, items arrive well packaged, undamaged and as per the description. 5 stars for product, quality and value but only given 1 star for shipping time and seller communication.

    Condition: The book is in excellent condition and just as described. Both the cover and pages have neither marks nor creases - each page is in perfect condition. Postage: The book arrived much quicker than anticipated. Packing: The book was solidly packed in a large cardboard-type envelope and securely sealed. Communication: I was sent several updates in regard to the postage, which was great. Overall: I highly recommend this seller and would definitely purchase from them again.

    The item was exactly as described and expected. It was well-packaged and arrived undamaged. The seller shipped the item promptly. There was a delay in delivery due to the Canadian postal strike which was no fault of the seller whatsoever but they were kind enough to help me track the item and even gave a partial refund on the shipping. Great experience with this seller!! Very pleased with the item :)
