The Kinks, still loved and respected by rock fans around the world as a too-British British rock band, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of their classic RCA albums "Muswell Hillbillies" and "All This World is Show Business" with the latest remastering in 2022! The Kinks are back with the latest remastered soundtracks in 2022 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their release.

The Kinks, still loved and respected by rock fans all over the world as the most British British rock band ever, began a new chapter in their career in 1971 when they signed a contract with RCA Records. Freed from the single-hit obsession of their former label, PYE, Ray Davies' songwriting pushed the band in the direction of creating boldly themed, delicately personal concept albums that continued from "The Village Green Preservation Society" onward. The band's songwriting pushed them further in the direction of making boldly themed, delicately personal concept albums, a direction that has continued since "Village Green Preservation Society. Also in 1970, with the Top 10 hit "Lola" in both the U.K. and the U.S., this too-British band began to turn its attention to the United States as well. The first album of the RCA era, "Muswell Hillbillies," was released in 1971. Taking its title from the Davies brothers' hometown of Muswell Hill in London, the album looks back to the brothers' roots and tells the story of working-class people who moved from war-weary, redevelopment-affected inner city London to the lush suburbs of north London. Musically, the film is said to have been influenced by traditional American musical styles such as country, bluegrass, and music hall music. It is also a highly popular and acclaimed work among many fans of The Kinks. In conjunction with the release of The Muswell Hillbillies, the band toured the United States, including a two-night run in 1972 at the historic Carnegie Hall in New York City.Naturally, this show, which featured many of the songs from "Muswell Hillbillies," was recorded and became one half of the 2-CD album "EVERYBODY'S IN SHOW BIZ-EVERYBODY'S A STAR," released the following year in 1972. STAR)," which would make up one half of the album. The album includes live recordings as well as studio recordings of The Kinks' own witty and humorous depictions of the rock band's tour-soaked days in the United States. The album's finale, "Hero on Celluloid," in which Ray Davies captures the bittersweetness of the American dream through the prism of Hollywood, was a hit that represented a new chapter for The Kinks.
