Low Budget is the eighteenth studio album by the English rock band the Kinks, released in 1979. It was their first to feature bassist Jim Rodford who would remain with the group until their disbandment in 1996. Following the minor success of their 1978 album Misfits, the band recorded the majority of the album in New York rather than London. Unlike the nostalgic themes of many of the Kinks' previous albums, several of Low Budget's songs allude to contemporaneous events. Musically, the album is a continuation of the band's "arena rock" phase, resulting in a more rock-based sound and more modern production techniques. Despite being a relative failure in the UK, Low Budget was a critical and commercial success in the United States, becoming the Kinks' best-selling studio album and peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart. The lead single, " Superman", was a minor hit in the US, reaching number 41.
