The Kinks patria k najvplyvnejším britským rockovým skupinám 60. rokov. Londýnska skupina, ktorú založili bratia Ray a Dave Daviesovci, sa presadila v ére britskej invázie a odvtedy ovplyvnila generácie nasledovníkov – od The Jam a The Pretenders až po Blur a Oasis.
Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One vyšlo v novembri 1970 u vydavateľstva Pye Records ako ôsmy štúdiový album skupiny. Ide o koncepčné dielo, satirickú sondu do hudobného priemyslu – kapela sa na ňom vyrovnáva s vydavateľmi, odbormi, tlačou, manažérmi i životom na cestách. Album priniesol single Lola a Apeman a otvoril novú kapitolu skupiny ako päťčlennej zostavy s pridaním klávesistu. Táto deluxe edícia k päťdesiatomu výročiu obsahuje 53 nahrávok na piatich CD, vrátane alternatívnych verzií, mono mixov a nahrávok z Ray's Kitchen Sink, a je doplnená 60-stranovou knihou s poznámkami, vzácnymi fotografiami a memorabíliami.
V dobe vydania albumu tvorili zostavu Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Mick Avory, John Gosling a John Beecham.
