Don't know if Muswell Hillbillies will be included as that was on a different label - over here at least, on RCA. Info about the other track listings have been made available. There's nothing too rare but they'll be in better quality at least than the boots.

yeah i think they are stopping this deluxe treatment once they get to the albums where they switched labels. imo ray davies was the best songwriter to come from england in that era of bands (the stones, the beatles, the who, the kinks, the animals, etc)

He was certainly up there with the best and gave John n Paul and Mick n Keith a run for their money. There was a point from mid-65 to the Preservation Society album in 68 where his songwriting almost reached Dylan status, both in terms of tunes and lyrics.
He really captured the spirit of the age by looking at life without the need of rose-tinted glasses - remembering the past as much as celebrating the present!

I'll be passing on these as I have the 90's reissues, which included all B-sides, EP tracks, etc.

About Jimmy Page:
"I'll tell you something about Jimmy Page. Jimmy Page thinks he was the first person in the world to ever put a B string where a G string should be. And for me, that's his only claim to fame. Other than that, I think he's an assh*le.
Jimmy Page and a lot of other people subsequently came to our sessions when we became hot, and I think he played rhythm 12-string on "I'm A Lover, Not A Fighter", and he played tambourine on "Long Tall Shorty".
I remember Page coming to one of our sessions when we were recording "All Day And All Of The Night". We had to record that song at 10 o'clock in the morning because we had a gig that night. It was done in three hours. Page was doing a session in the other studio, and he came in to hear Dave's solo, and he laughed and he snickered. And now he says that he played it! So I think he's an assh*le, and he can put all the curses he wants on me because I know I'm right and he's wrong. He's an assh*le. Dave is a great guitar player. He's got his limitations, but he's never been given justice for doing that. He made that when he was 16-years-old. He created a sound, and after that came Jimi Hendrix and all the fuzz boxes" Ray Davies, 1981.
