I love this album, the packaging looks amazing. I didn’t pick up this edition as it was way out of my price range, but I’m glad it’s out there and exists. As time goes on I love The Kinks more and more - to the point that I think that they are the best band to come out of Great Britain in the ‘60’s. In a 100 years time people will be in awe of the band. Both Ray and Dave are geniuses. God bless The Kinks.
Thanks for the inside scoop. Wonderful album and well done box set! Title track, Big Sky, Animal Farm, Days, and Phenomenal Cat. Those were the days! My favourite Kinks album along with Something Else. Just got the Nazareth Loud and Proud and Dylan's More Blood More Tracks box sets. Now saving money for The Beatles' White Album 50th. My wallet!!
@@jamiecottle5850 Hey Jamie, it has a lot of stuff. I assume you already checked out the incredible content. CD's, singles, double albums, etc... I paid around $120 from amazon Germany. Unbeatable deal! Have fun with The Kinks. How is the sound improvement? Cheers! Michael
Thanks for the video. I’m getting this bought for me for Christmas so it was nice to have a little sneaky peek!, looks fantastic. Fabulous album of course. Amazing band.
It is hard to pick one. Always liked the title track - really sets the mood for the album. I like the bluesy groove on Last of The Steam- Powered Trains. Wicked Annabella is such a quirky track - love it. But as you say there is a song for every mood on this album which is great. Which are your favourites?
@@jamiecottle5850 definitely Do you remember Walter, ....I think we all have a "Walter"...All of my friends were There.... reminds me of my manic 20s, lol..and Picturebook. Also Village Green. Sigh. Fantastic Album. Glad to find others who appreciate the beauty, depth.
Is this the Bernie Grundman remaster? If so, is this the first time he’s done it? I have a 3 lp set with rarities released about a dozen years ago, so I don’t think mine is a Grundman effort
Any idea where the (copied) signed photo is in the boxset? It is shown in the overall collection photo on the back of the box. I've had 2 copies and it is not in either, or your unboxing video.....sorry just seen the other comments. I am now emailing BMG. Thanks. I tried Amazon they don't want to know but are still selling the item incomplete.
Yes I did eventually get the autographed photo. I had to write for it. You can see it in one one my later videos. Pretty strange that it wasn't in any one of the box sets.
@@jamiecottle5850 I finally bought this box. AU$199.95 later.... I seriously want to punch whomever it was that put those horrible, rough, record scratching paper inners in this thing! Could they not spare an extra $0.10 to put it in a poly lined inner at least? I am sick of getting these so-called "audiophile" releases with no care what-so-ever taken with the manufacturing and packaging of the records themselves. Paper inners should be banned!! Okay.... rant over! Apart from all of that nonsense, it is a wonderful box set! I wish Apple had done The Beatles boxes like this. Recreations of the 7" records are such a great idea! I only wish a certain album or two of my favourite band's albums from 1986 and 1988 could get this special treatment...

Well said Edward
Thanks, Jamie! Got mine a week or so back; my favorite album by my favorite band, so obviously I love this set. Hope you do, too!
Beg Scream and Shout on the top shelf. Love it!
Thanks, John. Good eye. It's a great box set.
A masterpiece bought the album when it first came out in 1968.......
Stunning box set, Jamie. What a great album this is. Fantastic band.
The Kinks are such a great band. Underrated in many ways.

Wow, how is the Nazareth Box Set? I have had my eye on that one.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the video. Certainly know you will enjoy the box set.
Very well thought out box set, thanks for showing it. Cheers man.
My pleasure, Luke. Thanks.
Have this on my wishlist, will be getting the box soon, will compliment my Kinks Mono box set on vinyl I purchased couple years ago
Oh yes, how is that Kinks Mono set? Looks amazing.
@@jamiecottle5850 worth every penny, there's a few review videos on YT think I paid £90 but it's gone up in price now
A very nice box set. And a very good album, just very underrated. The 12 track lp is awesome.
I would totally agree. Very underrated album.
Play this every day. A song for every mood. Which is your favorite(s)?

Thanks Jamie I've emailed BMG, no reply as yet. Will send another soon I think.
BTW, I contacted BMG re: the reproduced autographed pic; they are sending me one, as I suspect they will to those who contact them...
Thanks for that, Bill. Will do.

u r missing the autographed photo...i think everyone is....
Yes, you're right. Do you pick up this box set as well?
They all came without the signed photo. It was left out by mistake. I got one sent to me by emailing BMG at info.uk@bmg.com
Everytime you put your fingers all over the singles and the lp, I cringed and had to look away!
Ha ha, I'll try to be more careful.
