The Kinks – The Journey: Pt. 2 (CD)

It contains singles, B-sides, album tracks and, most importantly, six new Ray Davies mixes, three of which are previously unreleased live performances from the New Victoria Theatre in London in 1975.

Speaking about this release, Ray Davies said: "I thought I knew everything about my songs until I got the opportunity to put this record together. The new sequencing has allowed us to show the 'big picture' and give a more revealing back story of how our music evolved. I learned a lot about myself putting the album together."

The audio was remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Studios in L.A. under the supervision of Andrew Sandoval.

Experience the timeless magic of the Kinks with "The Journey - Part 2 Best Of". A sweeping journey through the band's legendary hits, including the electrifying "Till The End Of The Day", the exuberant "David Watts", the sunny vibes of "Sunny Afternoon" and the rebellious anthem "20th Century Man", plus many more.

This release includes three unreleased, remixed live tracks from the legendary "New Victoria Suite" concerts and puts you in the front row to experience the band's raw energy and musical brilliance first hand.
