The Kinks tabs.
so so
I could live without it. There are quite a few songs I dont really like on this set, but then again a couple of my favorites are on here.
Exception Value
The DVD has been OOP for a while, so its inclusion here makes a good bonus. This picks up the Kinks greatest hits very nicely
If you combine this set with the Ultimate Collection you wil have a very very nice Kinks collection.

Deceptive
The original cover art shown on this CD is deceptive. Watch out: if you want the complete 1977 or so version of Kinks Greatest Celluloid Heroes, this isn't it. I thought I was getting the complete KGCHeroes, but this version is missing four songs from the LP, two of which, Holiday and Sitting in My Hotel, are winners. I had a heck of time returning this to Barnes and Noble -- really put up a stink with manager -- but got my money back. I'll continue to play my LP now. Buyer beware: check out CD and track listings before you buy. You shouldn't have to when the CD shows original cover from 70s LP. But . . . .
it is the kinks!
