Comment:

In the spirit of my recent chronological overhauls of the Beatles, Dylan and the Beach Boys, this is my revamped version of my triple-disc Kinks mix. While I've always absolutely adored this band at its peak (1965-71), I may have been overly dismissive of their post-'71 output when compiling my previous editions and wanted to rectify this revision by including several tracks from the next ten years that, in their own way, almost match (or at least hint at) the level of greatness of their classic period. Additionally, Doug Hinman's All Day and All of the Night tome has now allowed me to place these songs as close to the order in which they were actually recorded as I am ever going to be able to determine. This disc covers what has to be their absolute peak--early '67 to early '69; almost every track here was recorded for The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society or Something Else By the Kinks, a.k.a. two of my 20 all-time favorite albums. Cuts from this entire series were *incredibly* painful and the Last Tracks Cut (TM) from this disc were "Misty Water", "Rosemary Rose", "Sitting By the Riverside", and "End of the Season."
