Biography

The Kinks were formed by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in their hometown of Muswell Hill, North London. The brothers began playing skiffle and rock and roll, recruiting Peter Quaife to play bass with them. By the summer of 1963, as The Ravens, they'd recruited drummer Mickey Willet. Eventually their demo tape reached American record producer Shel Talmy who helped the band land a contract with Pye… Read more in Amazon's The Kinks Store

A really excellent Kinks collection. The whole CD drips with classy recordings from a hugely influential band. The price is a steal, the quality is uncompromising. A treasure trove of innovative British music, full of songs that surely require little or no introduction.
The Kinks made some superb music & a good cross section can be found here - you really would be barking mad not to get this, it's just ideal !

Come on Amazon, why have you stopped giving track listings on some products? I had to go to HMV to find out that this CD does not have Ray's finest song (among so many masterpieces) - Celluloid Heroes. Pay the extra for "The Ultimate Collection" and get that, Come Dancing, Stop Your Sobbing, Death of a Clown, etc.

I purchased this album after watching a program on television which featured The Kinks. I recognised many of The Kinks’ songs on the program (and realised that they were all songs I liked) so bought this album and I wasn’t disappointed.

The album is great; the songs make you smile and laugh (my favourite line on the whole album being in Lola – “Now I’m not the world’s most physical guy, but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine. Oh my Lola…”

If you have never had a Kinks album before then you will probably be surprised at how many songs you recognise too.

This is a real foot-tapping album for me which evokes all sorts of feeling including different seasons (e.g. when I listen to Sunny Afternoon and Waterloo Sunset I close my eyes and feel as though I’m basking in the sun listening to great tunes when really I’m huddled over my computer on a freezing day when the boiler has broken down!)

A highly recommended album and one which won’t disappoint.

Best of the kinks
Really enjoyed listening to the best of the kinks. It took me back 45 years to my youth bringing happy memories.
Published 3 days ago by a.yud
Good introduction to The Kinks but misses a few key songs.
If you love '60s guitar bands and great songwriting, you should definitely get a Kinks compilation. Which one though? Read more

This is a great collection of Kinks' music. Most of their well known tracks are included in this compilation, together with a number of lesser known tracks. Read more
