WAITING REPRESS
Another minor miracle of the resurgent analog age. The original mono Pye Records tapes traveled to Kevin Gray’s Cohearant Audio where he cut directly to lacquer the eight Pye LPs. To assemble the double LP “hits” compilation” Gray used the original tapes and digitized at 96/24. The result is the best sounding Kinks albums ever: better than Pye and Reprise mono originals and that includes the double LP black jacket compilation. Includes a lavish 48 page booklet God save The Kinks! - Michael Analogplanet's Best Reissues of the Decade! 2020
Cut by Kevin Gray From Original Analog Masters - Cohearant Mastering supervised by Andrew Sandoval, using the original UK Pye NPL analog masters.
The Mono Collection packages the first 8 albums in glorious mono, including ‘Live At Kelvin Hall’. The set also includes the bonus double LP compilation ‘The Kinks’ (aka ‘The Black Album’)
PLUS a lavish hardcover 48-page book including never-before-seen photos and new interviews with Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Mick Avory.
With the recent renewed interest in analogue recordings on the vinyl format, these important Kinks albums have been collected together, as their original vintage 1960s equivalents continue to command major sums on the collectors’ market. From the garage guitar snarls of “You Really Got Me”, “All Day And All of The Night” and “I Need You”, the melodic mellotron swirls throughout “Autumn Almanac” and “Days” to the bold brass characterising “Victoria” and “Shangri-La”, the full spectrum of The Kinks In Mono is here to be enjoyed anew.
