Good compilation of most of the band's decent singles, plus a couple of Dave Davies' solo releases.
Not sure of the chronology, but I've always felt that Ray Davies stole extensively from The Beatles in the early years. Having said that, once he found his song-writing feet, at his best he could hold his place amongst the very best of UK artists.
The Kinks are sorely under-represented in my collection (only have this comp). This needs to be rectified...
The Kinks are one of the most underrated bands in British history. Amazingly, they were actually active until 1996. Most of their material is pretty strong, even their 80s stuff ('Come Dancing') Heres one of their obscure tracks from the 80s.
