The Kinks
2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
Following a pair of compilations in 2023 chronicling earlier parts of their storied career, British rockers The Kinks have one more in the chamber to commemorate their 60th anniversary as a group, focusing on a period of transition and finality in the '70s, '80s and '90s. The Journey - Part 3 offers, on two CDs or two 180-gram LPs, a dozen favorites originally released on Arista Records between 1977 and 1984, including the band's last worldwide smash, "Come Dancing." The newly remastered selections - which, in a first for The Journey series, are curated by the band - will be paired with a never-before-released recording of one of the group's final concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 1993. Phil Alexander has penned new liner notes, with the Davies brothers and other band members offering track-by-track commentary.
