What compilation album from The Kinks do I want?

@roxy54: Another thing we agree about is the Kinks’ Village Green album. I would have a hard time choosing it over Face To Face or Something Else, loving all three in their own way. Luckily I don’t have to!

I got myself the expanded boxset version of the Village Green album when it came out a few years back. It contains both mono and stereo remastered LP’s done by Kevin Gray at his Cohearant Audio studio, and a thick book containing five CD’s of the album in mono and stereo as well as alternate takes and live recordings. The book also houses three 7" 45 RPM singles, a bunch of photo prints, a poster, and a booklet with notes on the making of the album. Also in the box is a hardbound book containing a lot of pictures taken at the time of the album’s recording. All in all, the best album reissue I’ve ever seen!

Thanks for the condolences for Garth’s passing. I consider Garth to be the single most remarkable musician to ever make music in the field of Rock ’n’ Roll, the reasons for which are only partially revealed in the below video:

By the way, this video is a tribute to the entire Band, and is the best one I’ve ever seen. The feelings and opinions expressed by it’s maker are 100% in line with mine.

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."

Most of the Kinks albums are also available on SACD - including a greatest hits compilation called Come Dancing with the Kinks. Check that other auction site for availability.
