description The Kinks - The Kinks Are Well Respected Men Overview

The Kinks Are Well Respected Men is a two-disc compilation album by the British rock band The Kinks, released in 1987 through the PRT label. The collection is notable for gathering UK non-album singles, B-sides, and EP tracks that the group recorded between 1964 and 1970.

The record is primarily aimed at collectors, music historians, and dedicated fans of the British Invasion period.

help The Kinks - The Kinks Are Well Respected Men FAQ

What tracks are included on The Kinks Are Well Respected Men compilation?

This 1987 two-disc PRT compilation focuses specifically on UK non-album singles, B-sides, and EP tracks that The Kinks released between 1964 and 1970. It is valued by collectors because it gathers material that did not appear on the band's standard Pye Records studio albums from that era.

Is The Kinks Are Well Respected Men the same album as Village Green Preservation Society?

No, these are entirely different releases. The Kinks Are Well Respected Men is a 1987 PRT compilation of non-album singles and B-sides, whereas The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is the band's 1968 studio concept album. The title overlap can cause confusion but they share no content.

What record label released The Kinks Are Well Respected Men?

The compilation was released by PRT Records in 1987. PRT had acquired the Pye Records catalog, which was The Kinks' original label during their 1964–1970 tenure, making this compilation a reissue project drawing from those original Pye master tapes.

Does The Kinks Are Well Respected Men include 'You Really Got Me'?

Since the compilation covers non-album UK singles from 1964 onward, 'You Really Got Me,' which was released as a standalone single on Pye in 1964, falls squarely within its scope. The compilation is designed to capture exactly this type of single-only release that predated or sat outside the studio albums.
