'The Kinks In Mono' is a 10 CD box set from 2011, that was a UK only release, and now out of print.
The box itself is a recreation of a British made Dansette record player, that holds the CD digipaks and a beautiful 32-page hardcover book. The book (included in the freeload) has notes, rare photos, memorabilia, discographical information and more. This is one of the nicest box sets, I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a few.
This box includes The Kinks' first seven LPs
- The Kinks
- Kinda Kinks
- Kontroversy
- Face To Face
- Something Else
- Village Green Preservation Society
- Arthur
Also included in the box is three extra CD's, the EP disc has 'Kinksize Session', 'Kinksize Hits', 'Kweyt Kinks', and
'Dedicated Kinks' while the final two discs contain various singles from
around the world.
"ALL IN GLORIOUS MONO", is an understatement. The audio remastered by Kevin Gray is ridiculously good, with clarity, presence and punch in spades.
Play it LOUD!
