Product Overview
Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One[a 1] is the eighth studio album by British rock band The Kinks, recorded and released in 1970.[1] A concept album, it is a satirical look at the various facets of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and the road.[1] Musically Lola Versus Powerman is varied, drawing on the genres of folk, hard rock, and traditional British music hall.[1][2] 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[3] and helping restore them in the public eye, making Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround 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.
