The Kinks celebrate their 60th anniversary.
The Kinks will put out The Journey – Part 1 on March 24th, an anthology split into four distinct chapters to reflect the storied history of one of the true great rock bands.
“Ask yourself the question, is this journey really necessary?,” Ray Davies said. “Yes!”
“I’m delighted with what I think is an inspiring selection of timeless and magical Kinks music,” Dave Davies added.
