Lola versus Powerman and The Moneygoround, Part One , The Kinks ‘ 1970 album, will be reissued as a 50th anniversary deluxe box set in December.
Commonly abbreviated to Lola Versus Powerman , or just Lola , the 1970 album was a commercial and critical success and of course contains the big hit single ‘Lola’ and also ‘Apeman’.
The deluxe box set is similar to Arthur from last year , as it is presented in an eight-inch box and contains three CDs, two seven-inch singles, a 60-page hardcover book and some art cards.
In terms of the CDs, the original album has been remastered from the original tapes and there’s plenty of single mixes (in stereo and mono), B-sides, alternate mixes and new medleys with Ray & Dave Davies spoken word commentary. There’s also previously unreleased demos, original session outtakes and more.
The two seven inch singles are ‘Lola’ and ‘Apeman’ with their respective B-sides and four art cards with full band shots complete this box set.
There’s also a two-CD deluxe (which features the first CD from the box set and a unique compilation of bonus material on disc two), a single CD (which also has a different selection of bonus material appended) and a gatefold vinyl LP which features the remaster and a 12-inch booklet.
Lola versus Powerman and The Moneygoround, Part One will be reissued on 11 December 2020 (18 Dec in the US, except for the box set which will be released on 22 Jan 2021).

The Kinks‘ 1969 album Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)…
Amazon Italy have The Kinks Mono Collection vinyl box set for a great price…
Ray Davies returns in April with Americana, his first solo album in 10 years.
Sony are to issue The Mono Collection, a 10LP Kinks vinyl box set that packages the…
Got mine this evening. Was surprised to find it isn’t the same box format as ‘Arthur’ SDL as advertised but a 10.5″ square book in a slip case, the same as Ronnie Lane set but 1/2″ bigger. Looks great with nice spot varnish flourishes but does mean all three SDLs (with Arthur and Village Green) are all in different size formats.
Mine shipped from Amazon UK this morning
Mine has arrived today too from Amazon Italy – in proper packaging – Result!
Had the same “packaging” with the Steve Miller box from amazon us that arrived last week. Shipping label slapped on the shrink wrap. Fortunately no damage beyond a minor dent or two not worth the hassle of sending back. More and more I’m looking for alternatives to amazon.
Is the Kinks Lola …. box not available from Amazon Uk
It is (was). I pre-ordered it from Amazon.co.uk when this site first announced it. My pre-order was still there but showing a price of £62. So I’ve just cancelled it and ordered instead from Amazon Italy – total price £52. Thanks Paul. Every little helps!
Oh, by the way, I have to mention that I had the Arthur box set come last week (same size and format) from Amazon.co.uk and it came with NO PACKAGING AT ALL! The dispatch labels were stuck straight on the shrink wrap. The product was there for the whole world to see. Never had that before, and never want it again. Fortunately it was fine but what a disgrace! As I just wrote – I’ve gone to Italy for hopefully better treatment with the Lola box.
Don’t expect any different from Amazon Italy ARidd. They sent my Bob Marley Vinyl LP Box Set with delivery labels on the shrink wrap and that was it!
One of my favorite Kinks albums. Ray Davies’s humor really comes through. I will stick with the 2 CD set from 2014, as that has the Percy Soundtrack. Lately I have been hearing “This Time Tomorrow “ on TV shows and commercials.
Why didn’t we get a Face to Face Box Set? At least the Kinks were at the height of their creative powers then, while this new one shows their decline, which went for most groups at that period. I like this group so much, but alas only in the sixties.
The Kinks were still at the height of their creative powers when they released this classic .
Most groups of that period on the decline ? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ?!!!
Just look at all the classic albums released in 1970 . Blows your silly comment to pieces !
There are two boxes-one called Picture Book, and the Sony box from a few year back. I never did get Picture Book, but the Sony box is excellent. It also comes with a 7″, and is quite extensive enough. Packaging is a bit tricky; it takes forever to get the discs out of their pockets!
Another absolute collectible is the BBC box, issued when Sanctuary was distributed bo Universal. DVD included.
Just ordered mine from Tower Japan. Looking forward to this box. I would welcome a Something Else box in the future.
I remember buying a cut-out (remember them?) of this album in 1973 for probably $1.99. I’ve always loved this record, and will happily plunk down the $80 for te box. I would love it if they do the same for “Muswell Hillbillies” next year, my favorite album of theirs.
About a year after finding “Lola…”, I got “The Great Lost Kinks Album,” and my lifelong love of The Kinks was cemented forever.
A cut out was a clearanced record, usually with a “cut out”, either a trimmed corner of the cover or a hole punched or drilled (or worse) in a corner of the cover. This sort of marking was also used on promotional records sometimes but in this context they were records in the 99 cent bin at the record store or other outlet.
Amazon.ca has the deluxe box for $80.02 Canadian dollars roughly £46 not a bad deal! Ordered mine today god save the kinks
Plus tax, at least 13% in most provinces.
Can anybody tell me if the ‘Lola’ on this version of the album
and on the single is the ‘cherry-cola’ or the original ‘coca-cola’ version ??
Because I just detest the censored version ….
Digressing slightly but has there ever been a Kinks singles box set issued?

I should have mentioned the name of the Sony box: Anthology. It is a good box to own if you just want to trawl through mainly singles, but it is very extensive.
Compilations not a box containing the singles.
Finally track lists! The Kinks Shop offers “bundles” where you can get the 2CD version along with the box set, which surprised me, since disc 2 in the 2CD version is supposed to be highlights from CDs 2&3 in the box. Well, apparently the 2CD version contains ONE track not in the box: an extra alternate version af The Moneygoround, presumably not the mono alternate version on CD1. Talk about a rip-off! Well, not for me! Still looking forward to the box, though!
The box offered on the Kinks store apparently includes an extra single and A badge. These are not on the other sites, including Amazon. I canceled my Amazon order and ordered there.
Now that we have seen the actual product (plays well, by the way) we can see that CD1 in the 2CD set has only 18 tracks, so The Moneygoround (Alt. Version) is transferred to CD2. So you get everything in the box set. But with this number of different track lists (the singular CD is also different!) no wonder that the assemble staff get confused. People are beginning to report that they get the 2CD versions with the box!
I love that new version of Anytime…its like a strange, vivid snapshot of the first lockdown period in the UK. Brilliant track.
On my goodness how some like to complain !
Well for my twopennies worth all I can say is a big yes! For the vinyl I mean.
I am currently having a big revisit/repurchase of certain vinyl versions of stuff I either used to own but due to many house moves ( 5 in the last 20 years) plus a divorce 28 years ago I seem to have lost.
But this one I have never owned on vinyl, goodness knows why and as somebody has already pointed out it was last reissued on vinyl for the UK market back in the late 80’s. I kept checking on Discogs for a decent price but no !
Until today, Paul you have made my day ( evening) I don’t want extra tracks or remixes or pin badges etc etc. Hopefully it will be a vinyl-friendly remaster and sit with my ever increasing collection of new albums, along with my existing collection from my teenage vinyl obsessive days.
This is very welcome news and will arrive in perfect time so that I can hide it along side other Yuletide pressies.
Funny how I’ve reverted back to vinyl again. Always collected it in the mid/late 70s but then went big time into the digital CD age by the mid 80s. Then bought the CD remasters in the 90s up to 2005 but ever since I treated myself to an early semi retirement present ( yes I was made redundant that bit too early ) of a Rega P7 I have returned slowly and steadily back to vinyl.
Sure I appreciate some do not like vinyl at all, fine each to their own preference of course. But for me it’s even the smell for God’s sake !?
Just loving the recent XTC 200 gm slabs, I mean Nonsuch is a work of such artistic beauty on all fronts, right ?
So God save The Kinks, again and again.
You have made a 58 year old very happy.
Happy collecting everyone and be kind to each other. Ramble over.
Richard,
I too have returned to vinyl and am busily plugging the holes in my vinyl collection; tracking down missing gems with the help of these web pages, and playing them on my original Dunlop Systemdeck turntable with Mission arm. Thank god I looked after it and it all still works!
How I never bought any Kinks albums back in the day is a real mystery. I bought the Village Green box set after seeing the sky arts doc about it, and it really is excellent; an instant favourite. I’ve so far passed on Arthur (at that price), but the Lola box set is right up my street, with or without vinyl included. After Lola, I intend to work backwards into their 60s albums – to see what accompanied those fabulous singles!
This album is one of my top ten, certainly my favourite Kinks lp, and one I have spent a lot of time listening to multiple versions of.
One thing with buying new vinyl is the fact that it’s almost without exception pressed from the same master as the cd. A premium turntable will still get the best out of older vinyl pressings and is a worthwhile investment in that respect.
But this release will almost certainly simply be a high res file pressed to vinyl, and the highest quality turntable in the land will only be doing its best to replicate that source. If it’s sound quality that matters, you are better just downloading the high res file and skipping the analog step that the vinyl conversion adds.
I buy vinyl, new vinyl too, because i’ve never liked cds. But I know that ultimately it’s for the comfort and feel of owning it on vinyl rather than the audio quality. The pressings are often quite poor and no turntable will get away from the sometime godawful mastering.
I have a Tidal subscription too which is the best source I have. It’s a simple fact that the Tidal version of this release (unless mastered differently specifically for vinyl) will sound better streamed than vinyl and the cd because it’s higher resolution.
The sad thing too about these Kinks albums is that they were pretty ropey recordings to begin with. Unlike the masterful recording quality of The Beatles for instance.
And regardless of the ‘audio quality’ you also need to factor in how it sounds. I’ll take a low quality rip of a good master over a hi-res, over processed stream for that reason. My preference of course would be the best master in the best quality.
Almost every cd /vinyl reissue without fail sounds inferior (again to my ears) to the original vinyl. I compared the original UK vinyl to rips of 9 different cds (Pye 86, PRT 87, Reprise 88, Castle 89, Essential 98, Victor 2000, Sanctuary 04, Sanctuary 14, Sanctuary 18).
Only one replicates the original sound (it’s the Victor 2000). It’s so close it’s clearly from the original master tapes. The other have all sorts of failings which add to the original roughness of the source. The 2014 ‘deluxe’ sounds like it has a blanket thrown over it (as they all do but it’s the worst offender), the 86 cuts an opening drum roll, 87 cuts a count in.
This (Victor 2000) by the way is true for all the Kinks albums if you are looking for definitive digital sources of the original vinyl.
So in this instance, my go to copy for this album is a cd of all things because that master is not available to stream.
So i’ll stream this for the new demos etc, but I have little to no faith in the original album being a new preferred playing copy. Point taken that we won’t know until it’s released, bu
