Dave Davies is a musician who needs little introduction, as a founder member of legendary rock group The Kinks; his guitar sound, unique style and songwriting has shaped the landscape of rock and pop music across generations. The pioneering rock guitarist singlehandedly changed rock-n-roll when he sliced his little green Elpico amp speaker with a razor blade, creating the first heavy metal guitar tone and riff. This revolutionary guitar sound propelled the Kinks into stardom with the global smash hits You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night, followed by numerous other classics over the next decades. Davies' music is as relevant today as it was in the 60s, having released in recent years several critical acclaimed albums on Red River Entertainment."As lead guitarist and co-founder of the Kinks, Dave Davies is one of the most unpredictable and original forces in rock," enthuses writer Bill Crowley, "His distinctive guitar style went on to have major impact on several key guitar-rock styles, including heavy metal and punk. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dave's massive guitar sounds have inspired bands from Van Halen to Green Day."After decisively solving the riddle of the first "great lost Dave Davies solo album", fully documented at last in the magnificent Hidden Treasures CD, we now have what should have been it's sequel: 'Decade.' Fans often wondered why Dave seemed to have taken break from songwriting for much of the '70s, but the assumption was inaccurate. Years prior to the issue of Dave's first "proper" solo album, 1980's AFL1-3603, Dave was working on the fascinating tracks that make up this new compilation. The tapes were unearthed by his sons Simon and Martin from "under beds, in attics, in storage", and properly mixed and mastered in a way that let's these songs shimmer and shine even brighter than they did at inception. Any album recorded over the span of 10years runs the risk of ending up wildly erratic in tone and style, and yet, Dave's 'Decade' is surprisingly cohesive, the songs working together beautifully as songs on great albums do.
This is a collection of previously unreleased material recorded between 1971 and 1978.
"Decade" is an expansive CD release by legendary guitarist and songwriter Dave Davies, co-founder of the iconic British rock band The Kinks. This collection gathers rare, previously unreleased studio recordings from the 1970s, a highly creative period in which Davies was exploring his own musical identity alongside the band's success. The tracks capture his distinctive guitar work, raw emotional delivery and a songwriting approach that moves between hard-edged rock, introspective ballads and melodic, roots-infused songs. "Decade" offers a fascinating look behind the scenes: sketches that sound as fresh as finished songs, arrangements full of character, and a warm, organic production that reflects the analog spirit of the era. It is both a treasure trove for dedicated Kinks fans and an accessible introduction for listeners discovering Dave Davies' solo voice for the first time.
As a solo artist, Dave Davies is renowned as one of rock's most influential guitar innovators, credited with helping define the sound of distorted electric guitar that shaped early hard rock and proto-punk. With The Kinks he co-created timeless classics such as "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night" and many more, influencing generations of bands across rock, punk and alternative music. His solo work showcases a more personal side: spiritual themes, autobiographical lyrics and adventurous guitar textures that stretch beyond traditional rock frameworks. "Decade" documents this evolution in real time and highlights how central his playing and writing have been to the development of modern rock.
The CD format underscores the archival character of the release: carefully restored audio, coherent sequencing, and booklet materials (where included) that place each song in historical context. It is designed as a collectible physical edition for music lovers who value sound quality and tangible packaging as much as the music itself. The flow of the tracks makes "Decade" play like a lost studio album cycle rather than a random outtakes compilation, turning past sessions into a cohesive listening experience.

The company focuses on presenting music with care and authenticity, working closely with artists and estates to bring archival recordings to the public in a respectful way.
