This is a great buy, it has all of the Kinks main tracks on.If your thinking of buying a Kinks album then this is the one, my wife and I have gotten a lot of pleasure from it.
Apart from Come Dancing, all the Kinks hits are on this album. Everyone knows the brilliance of Waterloo Sunset and the other whimsical compositions of Ray Davies. Most of Ray's best songs are on this CD, along with a few 'not quite so good' offerings, to fill up the CD. Therefore this CD is as good as any if you want to hear the best of the Kinks. And that is why I have bought it. The Kinks were a bit different to the other groups of the 1960's. They not only wrote their own material but did not portray themselves as serious musicians. More like some lads enjoying their music, not taking themselves too seriously and generally mocking convention rather than fighting it. They were fun, clever and amusing. They were not exceptionally gifted musicians or vocalists, but were very popular due to their attitudes, performances and songwriting. Along with Manfred Mann and the Hollies, the Kinks were a mainstay of quality, light, pop music of the 1960's and will long be fondly remembered for their unique contribution to the swinging sixties. This collection showcases their talent.Read full review
Having updated from vinyl to tape it's now time for me to convert to cd and this is just what Kinks fans need in their collection 25 all time hits covering all their chart topping history and also including Dave Davies singing "Death Of A Clown" (one of my personal favourites). The sound quality is perfect and each song runs into each other excellently. For me a must have purchase that I am totally thrilled with.
What do I like? The Kinks were my era, One of the top groups around,I lost my original copy ,so couldn't resist this one. Dislikes, NONE!!!!
I bought this for my son, as part of his Christmas stocking. It is all the old hits which I enjoyed on vinyl years ago and he enjoys it just as much. A good buy.
This was a trip back down memory lane, for myself and even for my son-in-law. Good recordings and value purchase. The delivery was somewhat more laid back.
