Part 3 of The Kinks Anthology is Set for Release this Summer

Rock legends The Kinks are set to continue the 60th-anniversary celebrations of their illustrious musical journey with the final part of their career-defining anthology, The Journey, which will be out on July 11, 2025, on BMG. The upcoming project covers The Kinks transformative RCA/Arista period spanning 1977 to 1984. The period saw the band finally break America, leaving behind their iconic pop and experimental phases and returning with a fresh and concise style of classic songwriting that draws on their own distinct British sense of self.

Compiled by the band, the release comes on both 2-LP vinyl and 2-CD. Disc one is made up of 11 classic tracks and hits from the era, freshly remastered from the original ¼” production master tapes including “Come Dancing”, “Destroyer”, “Living On A Thin Line” and other numbers.

Disc two is a very special release featuring never-before-heard recordings, discovered in the Konk archive, from the band’s euphoric, historic Royal Albert Hall show from July 11th 1993, including formidable renditions of “You Really Got Me”, “Till The End of the Day”, “Sunny Afternoon” and other tunes. A reminder of the band’s exceptional, dynamic live shows, the celebrated show, which reflects all aspects of the band’s three-decade career, was a welcome homecoming following a run of arena shows throughout the US, marking three decades since their first performance there.
