Доп. информация:
Muswell Hillbillies is the ninth studio album by the English rock group The Kinks, released in November 1971. The album is named after the Muswell Hill area of North London, where band leader Ray Davies and guitarist Dave Davies grew up and the band formed in the early 1960s. The album centred on themes of poverty and working-class life, as well as the destruction and subdivision of old Victorian neighbourhoods—a practice that had become commonplace in North London during the 1970s.

How did the Kinks respond to the fresh start afforded by Lola? By delivering a skewed, distinctly British, cabaret take on Americana, all pinned down by Ray Davies’ loose autobiography and intense yearning to be anywhere else but here — or, as he says on the opening track, “I’m a 20th century man, but I don’t want to be here.” Unlike its predecessors, Muswell Hillbillies doesn’t overtly seem like a concept album — there are no stories as there are on Lola — but each song undoubtedly shares a similar theme, namely the lives of the working class. Cleverly, the music is a blend of American and British roots music, veering from rowdy blues to boozy vaudeville. There’s as much good humor in the performances as there are in Davies’ songs, which are among his savviest and funniest. They’re also quite affectionate, a fact underpinned by the heartbreaking “Oklahoma U.S.A.,” one of the starkest numbers Davies ever penned, seeming all the sadder surrounded by the careening country-rock and music hall. That’s the key to Muswell Hillbillies — it mirrors the messy flow of life itself, rolling from love letters and laments to jokes and family reunions. Throughout it all, Davies’ songwriting is at a peak, as are the Kinks themselves. There are a lot of subtle shifts in mood and genre on the album, and the band pulls it off effortlessly and joyously — but it’s hard not to hear Dave Davies’ backing vocals and have it not sound joyous. Regardless of its commercial fate, Muswell Hillbillies stands as one of the Kinks’ best albums.

Недурственный такой винтажный рокешничек. Неожиданно приличная запись для тех годов.
Есть одна странность... по всем признакам (прослушивание, размер образа, показания foobar - тут есть ТОЛЬКО стереодорога.
Но на сканах обложки в одном месте упоминается "Multichanel". Странное дело, думаю типографская ошибка... если вышло в тираж, переделывать не стали. Знатоки творчества "бантиков" наверное смогут прояснить ситуацию.

А как мне прослушать на компьютере?
Если лень разбираться - ставим новенькую, чистенькую портейбл-версию foobar, прикручиваем foo-input-sacd плагин, перетягиваем ISO-шник в окошко плеера и все...
