The Kinks, founded by brothers, Ray and Dave Davies, were part of the British Invasion of the mid-60s along with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dave Clark Five, the Who and so many more. Their first big hit, “You Really Got Me,” reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. The value for the 45 is up to $30.00. The value for the album is up to $30.00 in stereo and $100.00 in mono if the label is pink, gold, and green as seen here. Cut the value in half if the label is brown.
