Tracks like \"Destroyer\" and the title song \"Give The People What They Want\" showcase the band’s knack for incisive social commentary wrapped in punchy arrangements—no surprise given Ray Davies' knack for observing the quirks of everyday life. The album’s compact ensemble leans into a stripped-down, focused sound that highlights the group’s seasoned songwriting and solid musicianship without unnecessary frills. This 1981 pressing presents the album on vinyl with a clarity that suits its straightforward style. The record is graded \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG++\u003c\/a\u003e, meaning it has a glossy surface with only minor, light signs of use that won’t distract from playback. For collectors or listeners after a clean copy that reflects the era’s production values, this pressing offers a reliable way to experience the Kinks’ mid-career perspective. It’s a record that seems to ask for a spot just shy of the front row, where you can catch the details without being overwhelmed—a fitting place for a band still sharpening their voice after nearly two decades of recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Kinks - Give the People What They Want\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround The Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive The People What They Want\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKillers Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePredictable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd It Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDestroyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYo-Yo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack To Front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt Lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Little Bit Of Abuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IYU3HKfWx3s\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6p08Rp6pAZPw3KJVKpm1qF\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1981","offer_id":67623653835068,"sku":"DEN00000950","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/MS0zMTQwLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1791067832","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/the-kinks-give-the-people-what-they-want-lp-100326-den00000950","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
