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.

I'll take that into serious consideration, the live album. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't doubt they have a lot of good music but I want the tunes I remember from the radio for sure. Much of my music collection has specific memories to it. A lot of the other music on this compilation will be new to me but I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Again, thanks for the recommendation. I bought 6 CD sets today, a Jack Nicholson DVD the other day and my newest set of Morrow Audio SP6 speaker cables will arrive soon. That kills the entertainment budget for a week or so!

Grab their live album 'One For The Road'.

You'll be glad you did.

And @roxy54 is right. You like what you like, but they have many really good songs.

Figured it out:

The Essential Kinks

Lola is a live version but I'll survive with it. Not an easy title to find in mint condition at a reasonable price but I persevered.

Yes, a lot of other songs on there too that I'm sure I'll enjoy.

If you like those songs by the Kinks, do yourself a favor and just get the largest collection disc you can. You'll find that those few songs are far from their best material.
