The Kinks (commonly known as The Black Album) was released in the UK in February 1970, in mono only. It serves as a history of The Kinks on record to date, and was originally planned to include a book by Ray chronicling the band’s career. Unlike the many Pye/PRT exploitation compilations, this double album was compiled by Ray Davies himself.
