The Kinks Schoolboys in Disgrace on 180g LP

One of the most important and influential artists in rock history, The Kinks have been credited by many as the crucial '60s genesis for everything from heavy metal to garage punk to Britpop. 1975's Schoolboys in Disgrace served as the British rock institution's eleventh concept album and third rock opera in a row. The 10-track collection is built around a story of a certain 'naughty schoolboy' who was punished by the headmaster for his conduct, after which he became a hard and cruel person and 'grew up into Mr. Flash'. As usual, the melodies approach classic status.
