Originally released in 1979, Low Budget marked a pivotal late career high point for The Kinks with a tougher, arena-ready sound. It became one of the band’s strongest U.S. releases and remains a defining album of their late 70s period.
This 2026 edition has been newly remastered from the original production sources, delivering improved clarity, balance, and dynamic range while preserving the character of the original mix. Tracks including “(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman,” “Catch Me Now I’m Falling,” and the title track benefit from a more detailed and focused presentation.
Originally released in 1981, Give the People What They Want continued The Kinks’ early 80s run with a direct, guitar-driven sound and pointed, contemporary themes.

Following a pair of compilations in 2023 chronicling earlier parts of their storied career, British rockers The Kinks have one more in the chamber to commemorate their 60th anniversary as a group, focusing on a period of transition and finality in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. The Journey Part 3 offer a dozen favorites originally released on Arista Records between 1977 and 1984, including the band’s last worldwide smash, “Come Dancing.” The newly remastered selections – which, in a first for The Journey series, are curated by the band – will be paired with a never-before-released recording of one of the group’s final concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 1993.
