This obscure double-LP set has been released on 27 February 1970 by Pye Records in England. Simply titled The Kinks, it was issued before the band's commercial resurgence with "Lola," and compiles a brace of the band's singles (and B-sides) cut across a four-year period from 1964 through 1968, all presented in chronological order. Unofficially known among fans as "the black album," it was among the first U.K. imports of the Kinks to show up in the United States, but was also out so early, circa 1970-1971, that it ended up being fairly obscure (especially in the U.S.).
