Picked this up a local street party - ironically I sold my long-owned 'Golden Hour Of The Kinks' LP at the previous year's party. Further evidence of classic artists that for a while saw their body of work demoted to cheap compilations and reissues, this 1989 collection was on a Pickwick subsidiary label and would almost definitely have been confined to the bargain racks. I think that only The Beatles and The Rolling Stones escaped such downgrading (although as previously noted, some Beatles collections did turn up on budget priced labels, and certainly in the early 1990s The Rolling Stones back catalogue was available as mid-priced reissues).
