Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, commonly abbreviated to Lola Versus Powerman, or just Lola, is the eighth studio album by British rock band the Kinks, recorded and released in 1970.
A concept album, it is a satirical appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and life on the road.
Musically" Lola Versus Powerman" is varied, described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine as" a wildly unfocused but nonetheless dazzling" tour de force, containing some of Ray Davies' strongest songs.
Although it appeared during a transitional period for the Kinks," Lola Versus Powerman" was a success both critically and commercially for the group, charting in the Top 40 in America and helping restore them in the public eye, making it a" comeback" album.
It contained two hit singles:" Lola", which reached the top 10 in the US and UK, and" Apeman", which peaked at number five in the UK.
