The Kinks!!!

Kinks mark anniversary with single and album

The Kinks are to mark the 40th anniversary of You Really Got Me topping the charts by rereleasing the single.

Sanctuary Records plan a massive publicity campaign to promote the single and a new double-CD Kinks' compilation.

You Really Got Me will be released as a CD single and on seven-inch vinyl presented in a replica of the original Pye Records sleeve.

The rock classic first topped the British chart in September 1964 beginning a long run of hits by the band with songs like All Day And All Of The Night, Waterloo Sunset and Lola.

Ultimate Collection, due out on September 13, will also feature tracks like Dedicated Follower Of Fashion, Tired Of Waiting For You, Set Me Free, See My Friends, Autumn Almanac, Days, Victoria, Supersonic Rocket Ship, Apeman and Come Dancing.

Disc two will include some of the band's best known album tracks and B-sides of singles many of which have been famously covered by other bands.

Included are David Watts covered previously on a single by the Jam, Stop Your Sobbing covered by the Pretenders and Where Have All The Good Times Gone covered by David Bowie.

Kinks guitarist Dave Davies was finally able to return home from the hospital last week, after suffering a stroke earlier this year. According to his son, Christian, the rocker "is very relieved to be able to continue his healing progress at home in England." Meanwhile, the U.K.'s Sanctuary Records is reissuing the Kinks' classic single "You Really Got Me" to commemorate 40 years since it first topped the charts http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/sanctuary_records/kinks_really_got_me.htm.

На этой неделе во время музыкального фестиваля в Ливерпуле с удовольствием послушал группу Counterfeit Kinks, которая около часа пела песни настоящих Kinks. Было о-очень похоже и приятно. Все-таки слишать эту музыку в живую - совсем другое дело - восприятие намного мощнее.

Уважаемые, возможно пропустил тему, но испытываю острую нужду в преобретении коллекции (MP3) полного собрания сочинений The Kinks.

Буду благодарен за любую информацию

Горбушка. "Домашняя коллекция" (качество мп3 омерзительнейшее).

А разве Kinks выходили у ДК? Кстати, последнее время качество их релизов повысилось, и меньше чем Lame 192кб/с практически ничего не выходит.

2 Pacific: выходили. Качество - да, битрейт приличный, но болванки настолько дурные, что ревут в дисководе, как сверхзвуковой лайнер на взлете. Плюс в тех дисках, которые я держала в руках (знакомый купил, не я) было совершенно непонятное разделение по годам, в общем, "ДК" кинков издали из рук вон...

Прошу прощения, но задам вопрос снова - Kinks выходили именно в Домашней Коллекции? Дело в том, что в их онлайн каталоге http://homecoll.ru/catalog/home_collection.htm их нет, так же как и в каталоге новинок, соответственно и заказать невозможно, как бы ни хотелось.

2 Pacific: вы меня засмущали. Судя по всему, либо у меня маразм, либо это были пираты, сделавшие обложку один в один как у "ДК". Право, я теряюсь... :-)

И тут нету: http://www.skladcd.com/

Господа, я не употребляю... эээ... СТОЛЬКО :-) чтобы решить, что это обложка "ДК", когда это вовсе не она. Могу только повторить свой предыдущий пост))))

Господа и дамы! Призываю слушать классику рока, в том числе и Кинкс, не на мп3, а на CD "попластиночно", тем более, что именно Кинкс на CD (за исключением пары поздних альбомов) были переизданы более, чем достойно!

Kinks - FOREVER!!

Кстати, "Азия рекордз" недавно переиздала практически весь каталог ремастеров Kinks.

The Kinks' Dave Davies is selling four of his paintings, and plans to donate a portion of the profits to aid victims of the recent tsunamis. The guitarist created the artwork using acrylic paint while he was recovering from a stroke last August in a London hospital. The selected pieces, titled "Stroke," "Acceptance," "Healing" and "Hope," can be viewed here: http://www.davedavies.com/new.htm

Для всех любителей KINKS! Сегодня 16.01.2005 в 2.00 (ночи) на радиостанции "Эхо Москвы" состоится двухчасовой эфир, посвященный этой группе.

Обидно, что до Германии ето радио не добивает;(

Ray Davies Fails to Testify in Court

04/21/2005

Ray Davies, the longtime lead singer of The Kinks, didn't return to testify against a man who allegedly drove a getaway car for a gunman who robbed Davies' companion and shot the singer in the leg.

Defendant Jerome Barra was released Wednesday after prosecutors dismissed charges. District Attorney Eddie Jordan said the 60-year-old Davies had sent word to prosecutors that he is on tour and unavailable until December.

Barra, 26, was to face trial on charges of armed robbery and principal to aggravated battery in the Jan. 4, 2004, attack.

"We'll see if we can reinstate the charges once the victim is able to return to New Orleans," Jordan said. "But we do need victims in order to prosecute an armed robbery case."

Police said Davies was walking with a woman near the edge of the French Quarter when a car pulled alongside the couple. A passenger jumped from the car with a gun, demanding that Davies' companion give up her purse.

The woman complied, but Davies pursued the robber as he returned to the car. The robber turned and shot Davies once in the leg before getting in the car and fleeing, police said. Davies was treated for a minor gunshot wound.

Davies and his companion gave police the car's license plate number. About two hours later, police arrested Barra at the wheel. The gunman was never identified.

The Kinks, part of the '60s British invasion, had a string of hits including "You Really Got Me" and "Lola."

На DVD выщла вот такая EP'шка с четырьма песнями.

KINKS FOREVER!!!
