Summary
| Description |
English: A 1964 promotional photograph of the Kinks. London's Tower Bridge is in the background. In band biographer Doug Hinman's 2004 book All Day and All of the Night, p. 31, he dates this photograph to around August 2, 1964. He further writes: "It is likely that classic red-hunting-jacket shots with The Kinks in various poses around the Tower Of London [sic] and sitting on a cannon are taken at this time. They are used extensively in early promotional material. The session may well have been at the urging of new press officer Brian Sommerville upon the launch of his campaign to smarten up the band's image. Also, Summerville seeks to represent them as symbols of Englishness, a notion that will in time sell well to the American market." |
