The 2006 box set
The RCA Years collects Velvel's expanded and remastered versions of
the Kinks' six albums for RCA (
Muswell Hillbillies, Everybody's in Show-Biz,
Preservation: Act 1,
Preservation: Act 2,
A Soap Opera,
Schoolboys in Disgrace), originally released between 1971 and 1975 and originally reissued in 1998. No new material has been added to this set, so fans who already own these versions will not need to pick this up, but any serious fan who has yet to acquire these excellent reissues should get this set, since it offers all of them in a convenient discounted package.
