The Kinks will mark their 50th anniversary with reissues of their classic 1964-1970 catalogue.
Sony Music now distributes The Kinks and will start the reissues with ‘Lola Verses Powerman and the MoneyGoRound Part One’, featuring the classics ‘Lola’ and ‘Apeman’.
The album will feature bonus tracks and a second disc with the complete 1971 ‘Percy’ soundtrack. The ‘Percy’ soundtrack was written by Ray Davies but never released in the USA. The song ‘God’s Children’ was a minor hit in Australia in 1971, reaching no. 53.
‘Lola Verses Powerman and the MoneyGoRound Part One’ has been completely remastered by Andrew Sandoval. It comes with a new booklet by art director Phil Smee and liner notes from Peter Doggett.
The album was a concept record about the music industry, song publishers, business managers and the press.
The original album peaked at no. 24 in Australia in 1970. The singles ‘Lola’ reached no 4 in Australia and ‘Apeman’ no 5, both in 1970.
‘Lola Verses Powerman and the MoneyGoRound Part One’ will be released on August 15, 2014.
