The "Kinks-Size Kinkdom" CD combines tracks originally released on the American albums "Kinks-Size" & "Kinkdom" along with non-LP sides from the same period(1964-1966). Taken along with the self-titled debut "Kinks" (remastered CD with bonus tracks) and the CD "Kinda Kinks" they represent the complete output of the early Kinks. Many of the tracks on this CD are otherwise unavailable on CD, particularly the "Kinkdom" album. This CD shows their first leap forward, style-wise. Whereas their debut was straight forward meat & potatoes rock 'n' roll, this album began to show a more developed level of song-writing both lyrically and instrumentally. A first taste of their mid to late sixties classic period is well represented here with many of the songs among my favorites by the Kinks!! Happy listening.

these albums put together on one cd are great the only thing is that there is some songs missing from the original albums in order to get the other songs you should get the kinks first album and kinda kinks with the bonus songs from sanctuary in combonation with this one this album is great though it is the kinks when they were a rockin british wave band and they had session men like jimmy page playing on there albums

I bought this CD at a Wherehouse in La Crescenta, CA, 15 years ago for $ 4.00. I didn't even listen to it for about 6 months. When I did start to listen to it I couldn't stop, it was the only CD I listened to for 2 months. I can't believe its worth $ 90.00 now. Crazy !!!
