    GREAT EDITION OF THE KINKS' FIRST ALBUM PLUS EXTRAS
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2011*

Two discs-66,61 minutes each approximately.  The discs were made in Germany.  The sound is improved from the original thin production of the LP, and subsequent CD editions.  The discs snap in, inside a quad-fold cardboard holder, which has nice graphics, and track information on the back.  The booklet is well done, with a good synopsis of the KINKS and their music, along with some good period photographs and graphics.The KINKS first album, released in 1964, is a collection of several different styles of music.  There's rock 'n' roll ("Too Much Monkey Business", "Cadillac", etc.), r&b/blues ("Long Tall Shorty", "Got Love If You Want It"), something approaching folk-rock ("I've Been Driving On Bald Mountain"), beat ("Just Can't Go To Sleep"), and a number of pop songs.  This "quicky" approach sounds like a collection of various styles rather than a coherent album.  But in the early days this was the way albums were done-rushed out for release to capitalize on a hit single or two, with the rest of the album filled out with usually lesser tunes.This album has a number of good, exciting tracks-certainly as good as most other bands who released a full LP (as opposed to an EP), on a usually small budget.  This album is a good example of early/mid 60's English rock.  Of course the hit "You Really Got Me" is here in all it's glory.  This song has one of the best, primal electric guitar solos in rock 'n' roll-noisy, passionate, and immediate sounding.  The same can be said for "All Day And All Of The Night", heard in pure mono.The original album (in stereo) is on the first disc, along with a number of mono demos, singles, a couple of tunes by the (pre-KINKS) BOLL-WEEVILS from 1963, and tracks from the EP  "Kinksize Session".  For KINKS fans the extra tracks will be a valuable addition to the band's discography.  The best of the demos add depth to the original album, and give some insight into the workings of the band.Disc Two contains the original album in glorious mono.  This has been around for some time, but not with the improved sound quality found here.  Also here are tracks not used on the album, some alternate recordings, a mono mix for the U.S., and several good BBC recordings (in mono), plus a couple of short interviews with the band and Ray Davies.  The BBC tracks are full of that early, slightly naive, excitement of the era-the band sounds ready to just get on with things.  It's music played by a group that hadn't yet been worn down by touring, recording, and the constant pressure of writing another hit single.  The short DJ "patter" between songs is reminiscent of early period radio.For whatever reason the KINKS were never as popular in the U.S. as in England.  Despite some good songs and some hot singles, Ray Davies writing style increasingly focused on England and things "English".  And that's too bad, because Davies became a focused song writer, who only improved as time went on.  But this first album, now much improved, is still a fine example of the early days of British rock.  Fans will want this edition for the improved sound and the extras.  If you're new to the KINKS, this is a fine example of the "early days" when you could turn on the radio and hear something as exciting as "You Really Got Me", or "All Day And All Of The Night".  But there are other early treasures here-give it a listen and hear for yourself.If you're wondering about the band's second album ("Kinda Kinks"), and/or their third ("The Kink Kontroversy"), they're in the same format as this Deluxe Edition.  Both have even more fine music-the original albums (in mono), demos, unissued tracks, singles, outtakes, alternates, and live tracks, plus great notes/photos, on/of, the band and their music.  Together, the first three Deluxe Editions paint a good picture of this underrated band.

    This Album Really Rocks and Is Well Worth the Price
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2015*

When you have lived in the 60's, you had all this great music and wonder what would happen if there were different versions of albums and singles and what would they sound like. Well, case in point, I recently ordered The Kinks Deluxe Edition of their first British album entitled "Kinks". Pretty much the same cover as the US version except there is no over the picture banner saying the title "You Really Got Me". Way ahead of its time, this album blew away a lot of stuff in 1964. They were touted as an R'n'B Group. True that a lot of music on these 2 discs are R'n'B, but that is what Brian Matthew of BBC Radio called them. I hate to sound nostalgic and taking a risk at not sounding like that and yet being like that, this album brings back a lot of memories of my teenage youth living in Camden, NJ. Besides the singles that appear on these discs, almost the entire album plus a lot of unreleased tracks, b sides and BBC tracks. I am sure that those who are really and truly collectors know that back in the day you had a British version and an American version which was awful because we know that how this country had to capitalize on everything, especially if it was something from another country. However, this whole entire set is beyond that and all the aforementioned nostalgia brought forth by The Kinks and this album. It really has great remastering audio qualityand it is amazing for an album that seems to have been released so long long ago. I love the cover which is a double digipak and 2 discs. A song that I never heard before buying this set, entitled "Don't Ever Let Me Go" , had become an instant favourite to me. It is a cross between "All Day and All of the Night" and "You Really Got Me". If they had released this tune as a single, it definitely would have been a top ten contender. There are an amazing 56 tracks on this set and if I spent time trying to describe every one of them, I'd be here until the middle of next week. Believe me , you would not go wrong to get this set and at the price I paid, it was well worth it. Also, it is only available as an import. For a while it was only available from Japan at astronomical prices, but is now available at much much less. Do yourself a favour, and get it while it lasts and does not go out of print again.

    Great content, not so good condition...

Great content, but digital CDs like this one tend to get really beat up when shipped in a padded envelope.  Amazon needs to improve this.
