What compilation album from The Kinks do I want?


I'm looking for a "greatest hits" type CD for The Kinks. I've looked at several on line but am having no luck finding a set that has all four songs that I really want.

The four songs are:

You Really Got Me

Lola

Apeman

Destroyer

If anybody knows of a CD compilation that has these all in a studio version that would be great. If there isn't a single set with these four songs, what would be the best CDs to get with minimum or no repetition? Many sets have 3 of the 4.

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

The Kink Kronikles is a great compilation that has Lola and Apeman (of your 4). It also has stuff you may have never heard along with great notes by longtime Kronicler John Mendelssohn. 

In a review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic, he said, in part:

"Apart from the hits -- the lazy, sardonic "Sunny Afternoon" and the gorgeous "Waterloo Sunset," and the 1970 comeback hits "Lola" and "Apeman" -- there is a wealth of music that ranks among their very best material that isn't available on any other album."
