The Kinks to Release New 2CD Best-Of Album, 'Sunny Afternoon'

The Kinks will release a new best-of album, Sunny Afternoon, October 16 on the BMG label.

The album features original Kinks recordings of songs from the successful West End musical Sunny Afternoon, including "You Really Got Me," "Waterloo Sunset," "Sunny Afternoon," "Dedicated Follower of Fashion," "Lola," "All Day and All of the Night" and much more.

It also includes bonus tracks not included in the production plus some of Ray Davies' picks that he feels fit into the context of the release. These include non-hit songs that have become much-loved deep cuts after appearing in TV shows and films and being covered by other artists over the years.

Following a sold-out run at Hampstead Theatre, Sunny Afternoon opened in the West End in 2014 and won four Oliver awards including Best New Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical and Outstanding Achievement in Music for Ray Davies.

With Ray Davies at the helm, his brother Dave Davies on lead guitar, Mick Avory on drums and Pete Quaife on bass, classic after classic followed "You Really Got Me," including "All Day and All of the Night," which—along with its predecessor—is credited with helping to invent heavy metal and punk. Their 1967 hit "Waterloo Sunset" is widely considered to be among the greatest singles ever released, with the Who's Pete Townsend, Blur’s Damon Albarn and Paul Weller citing it as one of their everlasting favorites.
