The Kinks are an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1963. The band was founded by brothers Ray and Dave Davies, along with Pete Quaife and Mick Avory. Throughout their career, The Kinks have explored various styles of rock music. In 2018, Ray Davies announced that the band had reformed for a new studio album and potential live performances. The Kinks were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

'something else by the kinks', often referred to as just 'something else', is the fifth uk studio album by the english rock group the kinks, released in september 1967. the album marks the final involvement of american producer shel talmy in the kinks' 1960s studio recordings; henceforth ray davies would assume recording production. songs on the album composed by ray davies followed his affinity for strongly english-inspired subject matter, including the harpsichord-laden 'two sisters', the lazy shuffle of 'end of the season', and the sardonic 'david watts'. the album includes the hit single 'waterloo sunset'. apart from 'end of the season', the album was recorded between the fall of 1966 and the summer of 1967, when the kinks had cut back on touring and had begun recording and stockpiling songs for davies' as-yet poorly defined 'village green' project. in fact, the song 'village green' was recorded in november 1966 during the sessions for the album but was released on a french ep in 1967 and would not appear on a kinks lp until the next release, the kinks are the village green preservation society. the album includes three songs composed by dave davies, including the hit single 'death of a clown'. based on the unexpected success of the song, the younger davies began exploring a solo career but follow-up singles did not meet with the same success and, by mid-1969, his solo ambitions would be set aside for a decade.
