The Kinks, una delle più grandi rock band inglesi di tutti i tempi, celebrano nel 2023 il loro 60° anniversario e per l’occasione pubblicano un’antologia divisa in due volumi intitolata The Journey, pubblicata da BMG.
La prima parte di questa antologia uscirà il 24 marzo in doppio LP, doppio CD e in digitale e sarà incentrata sugli anni che vanno dal 1964 al 1975.
Le tracce sono state selezionate per la prima volta personalmente da Ray, Dave e Mick, secondo temi ispirati dalle loro esperienze e vicissitudini vissute nel loro viaggio di vita comune come band dal 1963. Contenendo successi come You Really Got Me, Waterloo Sunset, All Day And All Of The Night, Celluloid Heroes, Supersonic Rocket Ship, Dead End Street e Death Of A Clown, The Journey – Part 1 segue le edizioni deluxe recentemente rimasterizzate per il 50° anniversario di The Village Green Preservation Society, Lola Versus Powerman Part 1, Muswell Hillbillies e Everybody’s In Show-Biz.
Tutti I brani sono stati rimasterizzati dalle registrazioni originali. I formati fisici contengono un libretto con foto della band e note personali track-by-track di Ray, Mick e Dave, in cui condividono i loro ricordi del periodo in cui questi brani sono stati registrati e li inseriscono nell’incredibile storia dei Kinks.
