4.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro for an Unbeatable Price
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2005
I hate to disagree with another Greg, but greg27 below is way too stingy with the stars here. To suggest that there might be better, more comprehensive compilations out there is a fair criticism. But giving ONE star to ANY Kinks recollection is carrying one's indignation to a ridiculous extreme.

Lately, I've found myself becoming fascinated by budgetline anthologies. They're often full of little off the wall gems (by design? happy accident? who knows?). I had just heard Richard Thompson revive the hypnotic "See My Friends" for his 1000 Years of Popular Music tour and just had to get ahold of the original once again. This bargain CD had that song and a number of other fave raves that are still really gear to this day. It filled my immediate need--and has inspired me to consider investing in some of the more exhaustive compilations, when time and finances permit.

And yeah, there are much more thorough collections out there--many of them. And many of the original albums are available on CD too. But for starters or for old fans from the vinyl days in need of a quick Kinks fix, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this serendipitous gem. Vol. 1 also looks pretty good, and has more of the obvious selections. But this one has "All Day And All of the Night," "Sunny Afternoon," "Dedicated Follower of Fashion," the aforementioned "Friends" and others that you've likely longsince forgotten but will be glad to reaquaint yourself with. And, of course, Pretenders fans will want to check out the original "Stop Your Sobbing."

The Kinks were the original deceptive rock primitives. Then after a few so-raw-they're-sophisticated, so-dumb-they-have-to-be-smart hits, Ray and the boys proved to the world that they were savvy, sassy and smart. This little collection has the best of the raw and the smooth. You could ask for more, but not at this price.

The Rhino release of 1990 included many of these tracks.....What happened to Apeman.....or Lola????..This compilation is a complete waste of money

4.0 out of 5 stars a decent Kinks comp for the price you get
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2002
For the amount of tracks you get and most of these are classics, you can't beat this disc for the price. Retro Music/St. Clair actually licensed these tracks from what was then Castle (now Sanctuary) and they actually used the master tapes for these tracks. It isn't the fault of Retro Music, it is the fault of the tapes which are not that high fidelity sounding anyway which is just fine for this kind of music. This is highly recommended for any Kinks fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Must To Avoid
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2001
There is nothing much to recommend about this CD, other than the songs "Sunny Afternoon" and "All Day And All Of The Night". The rest is filler. Sure the price is OK, but the sound is average and if you enjoy this music at all you will find yourself wanting more. Rhino's "Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" compilation is a better place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great package of vintage Kinks
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2004
This CD along with vol 1 is a great collection of the Kinks early hits (which to me are the best). And the price is great also. I found both in a used CD store for 11.99 -thats for both-This is a Canadian release and there is just one mistake. Vol. 2 shows a later photo of the Kinks with longer hair and a fifth member (not an appropriate photo). The cover photo on Vol. 1 is most appropriate for both discs. This is still a great deal for the price. If you're a fan of the old Kinks then get this one. It will satisfy!
