Historic release of ‘The Essential Kinks’
On October 14, Legacy Recordings will celebrate 50 years of Kinkdom with the historic release of ‘The Essential Kinks’, the first-ever career-spanning retrospective anthology comprised of key recordings made for the Pye/Reprise, RCA, Arista and Columbia labels (track list below), and fully endorsed by the band. On November 10, Legacy will release an expanded CD/DVD deluxe edition of ‘Muswell Hillbillies’, The Kinks’ 1971 masterpiece of working class social observation, a musical statement remarkably relevant in today’s world. Newly remastered from the original analog tapes, ‘Muswell Hillbillies’ includes the original album in its entirety as well as nine bonus tracks (seven of them previously unavailable in North America), and a DVD of rare 1972 television appearances (never released in North America).
