Liner Notes:

THE KINKS have become known as the pop group that refused to die. Formed in 1963 in London's Muswell Hill, they were the third most successful group of the mid-1960s behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but suffered from problems which threatened their very existence on an almost regular basis. Internal feuds, disputes with business associates, fading popularity and media indifference all threatened the group at various points in their still continuing career. Through all such traumas, brothers Ray and Dave Davies soldiered on. Their pioneering grasp of the possibilities of the pop video revolution went unnoticed during the 1970's, when THE KINKS made a series of stunning promotional clips which may only now receive the appreciation which they have long deserved. With vintage TV clips from the 1960s and film of live performances from various stages of the group's career, THE KINKS VIDEO BIOGRAPHY is a fascinating chronicle of the work of one of the few surviving acts of an era which has shaped pop music's direction ever since.
