But i am starting with the box which is just amazing. There are four reissues of the kinks are the village green preservation society for the 50th anniversary including an amazing box set. Don t really think it needs to be remixed the original 1970 stereo mix is great as it is but this needs a proper aaa reissue.

I m also not a fan of reissue vinyl that has that plastic record store day look. That box is definitely the pick of the releases for the 1968 classic but it is pricey and as such the other options are worth checking out too. Booklet with sleeve notes band interviews rare images. Features the hit singles lola apeman.
