Another Kinks-size box is on the way.

Following the recent, well-received series of deluxe album reissues and the limited-edition Kinks in Mono box set, Universal U.K. and Sanctuary Records have announced the latest project celebrating the quintessentially English rockers.  Due on August 13, the 5-CD/1-DVD box set The Kinks at the BBC isn't the first survey of the band's BBC live recordings, but it's by far the most comprehensive.  It has been compiled from all of the existing recordings made by The Kinks still residing in the British Broadcasting Corporation's archives, and includes "a raft of sessions and live recordings from throughout the band's career including the rare concert and unheard session recordings," according to the label.  In addition to the five CDs' worth of audio tracks, a DVD will present live appearances from programs including Top of the Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test.  And no fear!  If this is too much Kinks for you, a 2-CD "Best Of" distillation will also be offered.

Sanctuary first packaged the Kinks' BBC recordings in 2001 as BBC Sessions 1964-1977 (06076 84504-2).  This 35-track compilation, remastered by Andy Pearce and Ray Davies himself, included many of the band's most iconic songs like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night" and "Waterloo Sunset."  As the group's early recordings were supplemented with seasoned session players, the live recordings often had a raw dimension that the more polished studio cuts lacked.  The Kinks' association with the BBC was a long one, and especially in the early days, covers were played alongside originals.  As "You Really Got Me" was climbing to number one, the band recorded its first BBC session on September 7th, 1964 at London's Playhouse Theatre.  The Kinks' last BBC performance to date took place just over thirty years later, on October 8, 1994.  A total of 24 visits were made by the band to the media giant's studios.

Hit the jump for details!

All of the band's many faces were captured by the BBC.  The December 13, 1965 broadcast was the first to feature entirely self-penned songs, and although it was the eighth BBC session in roughly one year, it was also the group's last for over year-and-a-half.  When the Kinks returned to the BBC in the summer of 1967, gutsy R&B and blues would take a backseat to the increasingly original songs being written by Ray Davies.  As "pop" was ceding to "rock" and artists exerting more control, artists became more reluctant to re-record hits for the radio.  The practice had begun due to what was called "needle time":  due to an agreement between the BBC and the various unions, the playing of commercial recordings was extremely limited in order to ensure work for the BBC's in-house engineers and musicians.  "Needle time," too, was becoming a thing of the past.  When the Kinks entered the Beeb's studios the same week The Village Green Preservation Society was released in November 1968, only the album's title song was played live, with other selections from the actual album played in remixed or overdubbed form.  (The irony of the "needle time" practice is that it led to many remarkable performances from artists like The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix, all of whom have had BBC compilations released.)

BBC sessions became less frequent for the band in the 1970s.  A couple of sessions were recorded for legendary DJ John Peel, and as the BBC turned its attention to airing full "in concert" specials, the Kinks were naturally invited to participate.  The first such special arrived in July 1974, and a second one came three years later.  The Old Grey Whistle Test/Sight 'n' Sound 1977 Christmas Eve special was broadcast on Radio 1 and BBC 2 television.  Despite its success, The Kinks wouldn't return to the BBC for a whopping seventeen years!

Still, this fertile and active period of recording from Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Mick Avory, Pete Quaife and their compatriots should provide quite the treasure trove for this exhaustive box set.  The Kinks at the BBC is due in the U.K. on August 13.  Seeing how quickly The Kinks in Mono box set sold out last year, you might want to pre-order now!  The fine folks at AltSounds (via KindaKinks.net!) and The Steve Hoffman Music Forums were among the first to reveal the track listing, which we have for you, just below!
