The Kinks are an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1963. The band was founded by brothers Ray and Dave Davies, along with Pete Quaife and Mick Avory. Throughout their career, The Kinks have explored various styles of rock music. In 2018, Ray Davies announced that the band had reformed for a new studio album and potential live performances. The Kinks were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

The Kinks are one of the greatest ever British bands, and one of the most influential rock groups of all time, without whom many of the big rock acts that followed would not have existed. Their multi-award winning, legendary front man Sir Ray Davies is one of the greatest all-time British songwriters.

Celebrating the Kinks 60th anniversary and compiled by The&nbsp;Kinks, this is a new, high-profile, worldwide release&nbsp;combining the Pye and RCA catalogues. It is the first new&nbsp;Kinks ‘best of’ for many years, especially so on vinyl.

‘The Journey’ is a collection of tracks chosen by The Kinks’&nbsp;Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Mick Avory that reflect the&nbsp;trials and tribulations of their journey through life together as&nbsp;a band since 1963.

All recordings remastered from original master&nbsp;sources.&nbsp;Features 8 Top 20 Hits (of which 5 were top 3) including:&nbsp;Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me, Celluloid Heroes,&nbsp;Supersonic Rocket Ship, Dead End Street, Death Of A&nbsp;Clown, All Day And All Of The Night.&nbsp;Tracks are taken from all the classic original Kinks albums,&nbsp;including: Kinda Kinks, Face To Face, Something Else and&nbsp;the recently remastered 50th anniversary editions of Village&nbsp;Green Preservation Society, Lola, Muswell Hillbillies and&nbsp;Everybody's In Show-Biz.
