Serving as the definitive, chronologically sequenced double album overview of the remarkably influential British Invasion pioneers. The set traverses the frantic, proto-punk power chords of 'You Really Got Me' through Ray Davies' incredibly sharp, satirical observations of English society during their deeply revered 'Village Green' era. It perfectly encapsulates their unique blend of aggressive rock and wistful, vaudevillian pop.
