Kinky Music is a studio album by the Larry Page Orchestra, released on 18 June 1965 by Decca Records. [2] [3] The album consists of orchestral middle of the road or easy listening [1] arrangements of compositions by Ray Davies, principal songwriter of the English rock band the Kinks, whom Larry Page then managed. [4] The album fit in a trend of orchestral arrangements of popular British rock acts, like George Martin's 1964 album Off the Beatle Track. [1] [5] Davies did not participate in any aspect of the album's creation, [6] nor did any of the Kinks perform on it. [1] The recordings instead featured then prodigious session musicians, like Jimmy Page, Big Jim Sullivan and John Paul Jones. [1]

Page considered the work a marketing exercise to introduce Davies' melodic talent to a wider audience, but the album sold poorly. [7] Davies was generally supportive or sarcastic regarding the album upon its release, but he later criticised the project as exploitative, calling it both "appalling" and "horrible". [4] [8] Writing in retrospect for AllMusic, critic Richie Unterberger describes the album "frivolous", "bland" and unlikely to interest even devoted Kinks fans. [1]
