The Kinks
Starmaker / A British Biscuit

These are two excellent-sounding performances of my favorite Kinks concept album, "Soap Opera." I'm including the lineage info listed on the back of the bootleg as I received it.

(This show, starring Ray Davies and the band, was the original "Soap Opera" concept - the album was released afterward.)

Artwork is included. Note: I am not numbering tracks because the tracks as they appear on the artwork differ from what is here. Some dialogue parts from the shows have been split into separate tracks.

Enjoy!
