The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (Remastered)
“Though widely disregarded at the time of its release, The Kinks' 1968 apex, The Village Green Preservation Society, has had a profound impact on the present state of indie rock. Now, Sanctuary reissues the album in an expanded 3xCD box edition, compiling every song recorded during its sessions, restoring the original artwork, and fattening the package with extensive new liner notes.”
Something Else By the Kinks
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we explore the Kinks’ wistful 1967 classic Something Else.”

Muswell Hillbillies (Deluxe) [2022 Remaster]
“*Muswell Hillbillies* came out in 1971, and it was the Kinks' first release on RCA. This explains why you haven't been able to find the little bastard for years, but the good kids at Velvel know what's up; They've reissued this 1971 album (and are filling in the gaps for everything up until 1984). *Muswell Hillbillies* may very well be the best Kinks album you never heard, a scathing but witty tak”
