"Wonderboy" is a pop song, written by Ray Davies and recorded by the Kinks in 1968.
 "Wonderboy" stalled at number 36 in the UK charts, becoming the band's first single not to make the UK Top Twenty since their early covers.
 Despite this, it became a favourite of John Lennon of The Beatles, and, according to Ray Davies in his autobiography, "X-Ray", "someone had seen John Lennon in a club and he kept on asking the disc jockey to play 'Wonder Boy' ["sic"] over and over again."
 Kinks guitarist Dave Davies praised the song, saying, Wonderboy' was a big one for us although it wasn't a hit.
 That was one song we really felt something for."
 However, bassist Peter Quaife's opinion towards the track was low, later stating that "[I] hated it ... it was horrible."
"Got to Be Free" is a song written by Ray Davies and performed by British rock band The Kinks.
 It was released on their 1970 LP "Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One", which included the Top 10 hit song "Lola".
 "Got to Be Free" plays a key role in the concept album, as the album borrows its first verse as an introduction, and closes with the full song.
 The song was also used in the first of the BBC's "Play for Today" series "The Long Distance Piano Player" (1970), which featured the songs own writer, Ray Davies, in the lead role.

 According to Ray Davies, Dave Davies refused to perform on the album.
 He later said, "Dave refused to play and so it had to be 'Ray Davies and members of the Kinks'.
 If he had worked with me on it, it would have been a "great" record, but he let me down."
