That being said, its nice to have a 3CD set for the Village Green album, though "Last of the steam powered trains" is probably the worst thing the Kinks ever cut (including the wretched RCA period!) Now if only Ray would allow the Great Lost Kinks Album to see release (officially). Best album they ever did, up there with Hey Jude (the best Beatles?) and Biograph (Dylan's best?)
