Meticulously compiled by critic John Mendelsohn for the American market, 'The Kink Kronikles' bypassed their early garage-rock hits to focus entirely on their highly sophisticated mid-career peak. The expansive double album gathers non-album singles like 'Autumn Almanac' and 'Days' alongside the band's most character-driven, pastoral English pop. The collection successfully reshaped Ray Davies' legacy in America, elevating him to the absolute top tier of British invasion songwriters.
