´óÏó´«Ã½

Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround is an album by the Kinks which was released in 1970 when the band's songwriter, Ray Davies, was in the middle of a legal struggle for the rights to his songs.
The album's no-holds-barred appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers and life on the road was thought to be a tour-de-force achieving success both critically and commercially for the group. Some of Ray Davies’ most iconic songs were written for this album, including 'Lola'.

RAY DAVIES and PAUL SIRETT have adapted the album into a brand new drama for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4.
