THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE

This week in 1964, the Kinks single “All Day And All Of The Night” peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #2 (December 2)
The follow-up single to their smash hit “You Really Got Me” has a similarly catchy power chord riff, courtesy of songwriter Ray Davies, played by his brother, guitarist Dave Davies, who claimed that the song was where he "found his voice":
“I liked the guitar sound on "All Day And All of the Night", the second single we had.
When they tried to develop amplifiers that had pre-gain and all, I thought it wasn't quite right, and I struggled with the sound for a while.
I never liked Marshalls, because they sounded like everybody else.
Then in the mid '70s I started using Peavey, and people said, "Nobody uses Peavey – country and western bands use them" [laughs].
I used to blow them up every night. I used two Peavey Maces together, and it was brilliant!”
There are also striking similarities between the song and the Doors' 1968 song, "Hello, I Love You", which ended up in legal hands.
Ray Davies said “I think they cut a deal somewhere, but I don't know the details."
According to the Doors biography “No One Here Gets Out Alive”, courts in the UK determined in favour of Davies and any royalties for the song are paid to him.
“All Day And All Of The Night” went to #2 in the UK, #5 in New Zealand, #7 in the US, #9 in the Netherlands, #10 in Sweden, #12 in France and Canada, and #14 in Australia.
