Phobia (The Kinks album)
Phobia is the twenty-fourth studio album by English rock group the Kinks, released in 1993. It was their final studio album before they broke up three years later.[4][5] It is also the only studio album credited to the Kinks which does not feature drummer Mick Avory in any capacity; though he left the band in 1984, he still played on individual songs on both Think Visual and UK Jive.
