Kinkdom is a studio album by the English rock band the Kinks. Released in the United States and Canada on 24 November 1965, it was their fourth album issued on Reprise Records. It peaked at number 47 on the Billboard album chart.[4]
The album had no direct analogue outside of the North American market, but instead collected songs from the Kwyet Kinks UK EP, both sides of the "See My Friends" single, the B-sides of several of the band's singles, a track left off of the US edition of the 1965 album Kinda Kinks and a previously released track.[5] All of its songs were recorded at Pye and IBC Studios in London, between July 1964 and August 1965.[6] Kinkdom was the last US-only studio album released by the Kinks; beginning with The Kink Kontroversy in March 1966, Reprise issued albums identical to the UK versions.[7]
