Five CDs worth and a DVD but fuck that. Around $80 bucks and that's a no brainer as well. The only problem is the eagerly anticipated The Kinks At The BBC won't arrive till August 21st and I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.
There will also be a "greatest hit" culled off it, but nah, you gotta go the bucks on this one Mostly 60s – early 70s, except for the DVD which mostly 70s only. The list of songs is just amazing. This is one band that should reunite and now.
