Konfounding Kinks


Sometimes we revisit old favorites with new appreciation. the kinks had a run of albums..'face to face', 'something else', 'the village green preservation society', and 'arthur' which rank with the best of any rock band at the time, and lately i have started to spin them alot. any kinks fans ever kontimplate just how incrdible they were?

"One For the Road" a double live LP released on Arista in 1980 is definitely a contender for the title of greatest live rock album. BTW, there is a new 'audiophile' pressing and it is terrible. I tried 4 different copies from different vendors and they all stunk! Find an original and enjoy.
I totally agree with much that has been said. From the early days of Lola and You Really Got Me to later on with Everbody's in Showbiz and Give the People What They Want they were always plowing new ground. Very underrated.
saw them back in the seventies with steve harley and cockney rebel. oh what a night(dave pissed off at ray..the works)l'll say better than the who and zep for sure..the records speak for themselves.
I have several of there SACD's, including the SACD," One for the Road". The sound quality on the SACD's is pretty good. I really like these a lot.
But, I cant seem to find any SACD's or remastered versions that includes there older hits.

I do have a standard CD called the Kinks- "The Definitive Collection". It has 26 songs on it.
Including the older hits of;

"Well respected Man"
"Tired of waiting for you",
"You really got me",
"All day and all of the night",
"Sunny Afternoon"
"Waterloo Sunset"
"Dead end Street"
"Set me Free"

The Sound quality on this CD is just ok. I would really like to get the best recordings of these songs.

Is there a source with good sound qualty either in SACD or something remastered that has most of these songs on them ?
