Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, commonly abbreviated to Lola Versus Powerman, is the eighth studio album by British rock band the Kinks, recorded and released in 1970. A concept album, it is a satirical appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and life on the road. Musically "Lola Versus Powerman" is varied, described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "a wildly unfocused but nonetheless dazzling "tour de force"", containing some of Ray Davies' strongest songs.
