Sealed, Extremely Hard To Find 1987 Ten Track Mini Album. 9 Mono Mixes And One Stereo. Dave Davies' "Album That Never Was" Sadly Must Remain So, But What We Have Here Is As Close A Proximity To It As The Tape Vault Allows Us. The (Brief) Story Is As Follows:- 'Death Of A Clown', A Track Originally Cut For The Kinks' 1967 Album 'Something Else' Was Picked Off As A Likely Opening For Dave Davies' Solo Career. Dave, Lead Guitarist, Occasional Vocalist And Younger Brother To The Group's Undisputed Guiding Light Ray, Was Hoping To Try A Direction For Himself, And At First, It Seemed As If His Wish Was Feasible. 'Death Of A Clown' Was A Smash Hit, Dave Was Duly Seen On 'Top Of The Pops', But Later Events Led Him On A Somewhat More Erratic Path. 'Suzannah's Still Alive' Appeared In November That Year, But For Some Inexplicable Reason, It Failed To Crack The Top 20, And Dave's Solo Stardom Faltered. At Least Twelve Tracks Were Cut For The Album. Assembled Here Are All That Can Still Be Traced. Eight Sides, Of Course, Come From Those Solo Singles, Two Of Which, 'Funny Face' And 'Love Me Till The Sun Shines' Also Appeared On 'Something Else' Alongside 'Death Of A Clown'. The Remaining Five, However, Were Recorded Specifically For Dave Davies' Releases And All Could Well Have Been On The Final Solo Album. Although This Is Not The Record As It Was Intended, 'The Album That Never Was' Gives Some Indication Of What The Finished Piece May Have Been, As Well As Collecting Together Ten Prime Dave Davies Performances.
