Free Music Notes for You Really Got Me- Best Of The KinksFree Music Review: Dollars and (common) cents Hit: 4 StarsI'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song). Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't currently carry any older Kinks' tunes. I have to agree that the sound quality on here is 'dated', but you have to keep in mind the recording technology of the time, or lack thereof. You Really Got Me and All Day And All Of The Night were recorded in 1964!! Maybe the more expensive Kink imports have been remastered (hence better sound quality and higher price??)
Anyway, Amazon is charging $12.50, but I think the CD's worth $9. The songs: You Really Got Me, All Day And All Of The Night, Lola, Tired Of Waiting For You, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Victoria, Apeman, and Where Have All The Good Times Gone (another song by The Kinks that Van Halen covered).
Hope this helps.

Free Music Review: Listing has problems Hit: 3 StarsAs of this writing (6-28-06) the Amazon listing shows a double disc set with 18 + 18 tracks. I ordered the disc and the one I received is a single disc with 20 tracks. The track listing of the one I received matches the description on CD Universe. Amazon should either fix the listing or ship the right disc(s). I have not opened the disc (awaiting resolution) so my rating of 3 stars is neutral (meaningless).
Free Music Review: The absolute best of the kinks Hit: 5 StarsI was very surprised reading about the previous review which talks about the bad sound quality on this cd.I have this great album by the kinks and I can confidently say that the sound quality is superb.This compilation contains all their big hits like you really got me,all day and all of the night and lola.Very highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Beware! Don't buy this CD! Hit: 1 StarsThe material on this collection is just awesome of course, and would usually be deserving of 5 stars. However, the sound quality here is just horrendous on all songs and I still can't believe I was stupid enough to buy this because it had an inexpensive price tag on it ; also because this was the first time that I saw Lola on a CD with all the 60's material too.Many of the other imports here are outstanding ... do yourself a favor and stick with those. Too bad that this was such a big waste ...
