This is an excellent DVD, A good collection of hits and the videos themselves on all songs are like videos from top of the pops
they are all studio recorded tracks that have been mimed to, and mimed to excellently eg looks real (all except tired of wating for you - not sure what that video is about)
This is a must buy for Kinks fans.

Tired of Waiting For You
A Well Respected Man
Til The End of the Day

A no frills DVD of the Kinks TV promotional films for all their hits from their hey day. There is no intro or commentary just TV film from the likes of Top of the Pops played one after the other. I have seen all the clips when they were originally broadcast and this DVD brought back some great memories. From a nostalgia point of view this DVD was great. I can accept the mainly black and white film and the miming. It shows the band as they were at the time. For those interested in the band this is a good buy.

Above average collection
30 Nov 2011
Of course it could have been better but it is worth noting there are a few rarities on here. Even on bootlegs, I have never seen the promo videos for "Apeman" and "Sitting In The Midday Sun" in their entirety. It's also great to have the promo videos I have seen before, like "Starstruck", "Sunny Afternoon" and "Dead End Street" in better quality and without VH1 logos and such in the corner. "Dead End Street" is an absolute classic video.
Besides the promo videos, about half of this are performances from TV shows. To the reviewer complaining about the studio audio being dubbed over live footage. In most of the cases seen here, the band was lip synching anyway. The only songs that could have actually had the live audio are "You Really Got Me", "Well Respected Man" and "Till The End Of The Day". It is disappointing that the audio on those were replaced, they are available on numerous bootlegs.
My biggest complaint is that there are only 3 videos from after 1970. I know the 60s Kinks are considered their peak, but I think they stayed fairly consistent throughout their 30+ years. The Kinks are one of the most underrated bands ever. It would have been great to get a complete collection of promo videos. And of course, actual live footage. Hopefully there will be more quality Kinks DVD releases.
