The Kinks / The Journey: Part 1

60th anniversary campaign

To mark their 60th anniversary The Kinks have collected tracks in a themed compilation called The Journey: Part 1.

The songs included are supposed to “reflect the trials and tribulations of their journey through life together as a band since 1963” and are split into four sections. These tracks included hits, key album tracks, band favourites and B-sides.

The Journey: Part 1 is available as a 30-track 2LP vinyl set (with each side one of the four themes) or as a 36-track 2CD edition, with two themes per CD. These are of course the original band recordings and these have been “remastered from the original sources”.

Both formats are widely available but if you pre-order from The Kinks official store then you get an exclusve double-sided poster with the vinyl and three art cards with the 2CD set.

The Journey Part 1 will be released on 24 March 2023.
