The Kinks are an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1963. The band was founded by brothers Ray and Dave Davies, along with Pete Quaife and Mick Avory. Throughout their career, The Kinks have explored various styles of rock music. In 2018, Ray Davies announced that the band had reformed for a new studio album and potential live performances. The Kinks were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

this 2-cd expanded edition comes with deluxe packaging containing mono and stereo mixes as well as unreleased material, alternative versions, bbc sessions and short interviews, all re-mastered from original tapes by well-known kinks archivist andrew sandoval. the booklet was designed by award winning art director phil smee, comes packed with rare and unreleased images from the era. 'something else by the kinks', often referred to as just 'something else', is the fifth uk studio album by the english rock group the kinks, released in september 1967. the album marks the final involvement of american producer shel talmy in the kinks' 1960s studio recordings; henceforth ray davies would assume recording production. songs on the album composed by ray davies followed his affinity for strongly english-inspired subject matter, including the harpsichord-laden 'two sisters', the lazy shuffle of 'end of the season', and the sardonic 'david watts'. the album includes the hit single 'waterloo sunset'. apart from 'end of the season', the album was recorded between the fall of 1966 and the summer of 1967, when the kinks had cut back on touring and had begun recording and stockpiling songs for davies' as-yet poorly defined 'village green' project. in fact, the song 'village green' was recorded in november 1966 during the sessions for the album but was released on a french ep in 1967 and would not appear on a kinks lp until the next release, the kinks are the village green preservation society. the album includes three songs composed by dave davies, including the hit single 'death of a clown'. based on the unexpected success of the song, the younger davies began exploring a solo career but follow-up singles did not meet with the same success and, by mid-1969, his solo ambitions would be set aside for a decade.
