The Kinks are giving fans another preview of the super-deluxe 50th anniversary box set edition of The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, which will be released on October 26.
You can check out a new lyric video for “Time Song” — which was recorded by the band 50 years ago, in 1968 — on the Kinks’ official YouTube channel. The video features vintage still images of the band, and has a whimsical feel and a lilting tone.
The box set is due on October 26 and includes a two-LP vinyl set featuring stereo and mono versions of the original 1968 album; a vinyl LP boasting a remastered edition of the original Swedish version of the record; five CDs that include the remastered original albums, plus a variety of unreleased tracks, alternate versions and mixes, BBC and concert performances, demos and more.
In addition, there are three replica seven-inch singles; a 52-page hardback book containing photos, band interviews and an essay by The Who‘s Pete Townshend; plus reproduced memorabilia and track notes from Kinks frontman Ray Davies.
The Kinks have also made a previously-unreleased remastered mono version of the song “Misty Water” available as an instant free download for fans pre-ordering the digital editions of the Village Green Preservation Society reissue. The track also can be purchased individually as a digital single.
The Village Green Preservation Society super deluxe boxed set retails for $156.98 on the band’s official site.
