Før eller siden måtte det jo sket. At The Kinks også kom i boks. Som alle andre. Og så lige op til jul. Det er ikke helt fair over for en gammel fan. I følge Pitchfork Media indeholder boksen 6 cd’er med mere end 130 optagelser, der ud over gamle single- og albumklassikere omfatter sjældne demooptagelser, live-ditto og andet. Plus en fyldig booklet med informationer om gruppens historie. Ray Davies skulle have overvåget det hele, så det skal såmæn nok være interessant for tilhængere af The Kinks…
