673.0. "The Kinks on CD" by BCSE::RYAN (To CD or not CD...) Tue Mar 10 1987 12:58

	I just got "Come Dancing with the Kinks - the Best of the
	Kinks 1977-86)". It's a single disk, about 70 minutes long,
	and has a note along the lines of "this disk has been edited
	from the original two-record release". Can someone familiar
	with the vinyl version tell me what the difference between
	that and the CD version is?
	
	BTW, the sound and selection are both excellent, I only wish
	they had included "Misfits". It contains songs from their
	Arista albums, including well-recorded live versions of "You
	Really Got Me", "Lola", and "Celluloid Heroes". An excellent
	value.

673.1PHENIX::QUIMBYWed Mar 11 1987 12:1710
    I bought the vinyl -- because they deleted some cuts on the CD
    AND (at least at the time) were charging something like 60% more
    than regular CD price.
    
    Can't remember all the missing cuts (only 2 or 3, I think), but
    "Misfits" is one.
    
    How does the CD sound ?

673.2I like itPUGET::WARRENThu Mar 12 1987 09:488
    I've got it too, and it sounds great. 
    
    Any guesses as to when we will see "Misfits" released. I've got
    all of the Kinks CD's I've seen but I've never found that one. It's
    easily my favorite Kinks album.

673.3Are these albums available?OPUS::SZCZYPEKWed Mar 18 1987 21:515
    Does anyone know if "Something Else By The Kinks" and "Arthur" are
    out on CD?  I've seen "Kinda Kinks", "Kinks Kontroversy", and I
    have "Face to Face" on CD.

    Is "Kink Kronikles" available on CD?
    
    I've always been impressed by the great sound on the vinyl.
    Now I'd love to have the CD.
    
    Anybody seen it?

    re: .5

    As far as I know it's not out. If you go to a store that carries
    imports you can find several old titles. I've seen:

    Kinda Kinks
    Live at Kelvin Hall
*   Face to Face
*   Arthur
*   Lola vs Powerman and The Moneygoround

    I have the starred titles and they all sound good considering their
    age. I've also read that "Something Else" will be out soon, and
    hopefully "Village Green" will follow.
673.7"The Road" == "One for the Road" ???TOOK::MICHAUDJeff Michaud, DECnet-ULTRIXWed May 25 1988 22:192
    Does anyone know if the CD "The Road" is the same as the
    live double LP "One for the Road"?
673.8nopeDANUBE::D_MONTGOMERYGeneratin' SteamiesThu May 26 1988 06:309
    
    It is not.
    
    I wondered myself.    So I took a look at it.
    "The Road" is Copyright 1986 or '87,  while "One For the Road"
    was from the Low Budget Tour of '79.   (I was at one of the concerts
    from which "One For the Road" was taped.)

673.9a bunch of importsUSFSCR::RDONAHUEThu May 26 1988 10:2924
  Here's a list of the pre Muswell Hillbillies Kinks CDs I know of, for the
  fans of the early stuff. I've heard the starred titles and I think the
  transfers were done well, and are true stereo where possible and mono 
  otherwise. All these titles are on the PRT label, which is the remains of
  the British Pye label, and are from the original masters.

  * Kink Kontroversy
  * Face To Face
    Live At Kelvin Hall
    Something Else
    Village Green Preservation Society
  * Arthur
  * Lola vs Powerman and The Moneygoround
    Percy (I don't know why they bothered with this one)

  * Hit Singles ("You Really Got Me" through "Apeman")
    The Kinks Are Well Respected Gentlemen (2 CDs)

  They've also put together the long lost Dave Davies solo album and titled
  it "The Album That Never Was". Worth getting since it's basically the Kinks
  fronted by Dave.

673.10Two different albumsHAZEL::STARRYou grow up and you calm downThu May 26 1988 11:3714
    The new CD "The Road" is not the same as "One for the Road".
    The album "The Road" just came out about 3 months ago, and features
    songs from their last tour.
    
    I also saw one of the shows on the "One for the Road" tour. It was
    the one in Providence Civic Center, which is also the show they
    videotaped. I was in the front row, in front of Dave Davies, so
    I can occassionally see myself in the video! 
    
    Anyone else remember who the opening act on that tour was? It was
    a new band called Johnny Cougar and the Zone. Sure enough, that
    later evolved into John Cougar Mellancamp.

    hmph.   I saw the Kinks at Lenox on that tour.  The opening act
    at Lenox was Ian Hunter.
