The KINKS

KOLLECTABLES

1984 UK only issue

Kollectables is an album is a collection of B-sides and deep album cuts by the Kinks, one of the most influential British groups of the 1960s. The album was released as part of the group’s 20th anniversary celebrations. The Kinks’ songwriter Ray Davies, like many of his compatriots during the 60s English band boom, was heavily influenced by American R&B and rock and roll initially, but later adopted British music hall, folk, and country, creating a unique sound and highly influential series of albums.  The songs on this album, taken from recordings made during 1966 and 1970, reflect this diversity. From the proto-punk of “I'm Not Like Everybody Else” to the homespun, “Sittin’ on my Sofa” to the country twang of “Act Nice And Gentle”, this is a collection for every Kinks’ fan.

This is the first & only UK release of the album (this was never released in Australia & was only available through import).

I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.

I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing. The item will be packed carefully to ensure it arrives safely which may mean postage is a little higher, but I will only charge you the postage I pay. Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.
