Percy
1971 UK Blue & Black Label Stereo Original. Gentle Corner Crease & Shelf Wear To Seams. Housed In The Textured Rather Than The Laminated Jacket With The Original British Inner Sleeve. "Ray Davies And Company Had Already Participated In One Failed Television Musical When The Movie Percy Came Along -- It Wasn't As Original As Arthur, Nor Did Davies Have Nearly As Much To Do With Its Creation, But He Still Outdid Himself Given The Material At Hand. Directed And Co-Produced By Ralph Thomas, Who Had Been Responsible For Some Brilliant Thrillers (The Clouded Yellow, Above Us The Waves) And Very Popular Comedies (Doctor In The House) In Past Decades, Percy Was The Story Of The World's First Penis Transplant (It Was Probably Inspired, Or At Least Justified, By Big-budget Efforts Of The Period Like Myra Breckinridge). Although Virtually Unseen In The United States, It Was Still Popular Enough To Yield A Sequel (Percy's Progress), But Its Real Impact Came From Its Soundtrack. Davies Wrote Some Hauntingly Beautiful Ballads And Some Solid Blues And Country As Well -- "God's Children" And "Animals In The Zoo" Have Turned Up On Some Career Anthologies, But There's A Lot More To Percy Than Those Two Tracks. "Completely" Is As Fine A Slow Blues As The Band Ever Recorded, With A Sizzling Performance By Dave Davies, And "Dreams" Is A Pretty Solid Rocker, Even Up Alongside "Animals In The Zoo." To This Day The Album Has Never Appeared In The U.S. Catalog -- Recorded At The Tail End Of Their Contract With Pye Records In England And Warner/reprise In America, And Connected With A Movie That Was Never Going To See Much Exposure In The U.S.A., Reprise Passed On It At The Time."
