The Kinks<\/b> recently released a new Ray Davies<\/b> mix of their 1974 studio track “Money Talks” and an accompanying video.<\/p>\n
The new digital version will be featured on the second part of the British rock group’s career-defining anthology, The Journey Part 2<\/I>, due out on November 17th via BMG.<\/p>\n
“Money Talks” featured on The Kinks’ 1974 studio concept album Preservation Act 2<\/I>. Davies and Matt Jaggar<\/b> did the reimagined version of the song at Konk Studios in London.<\/p>\n
Davies says the track is about “Moral decline.” Dave Davies<\/b> comments, “Always amused me when we did it live. An exceptional song I think.” Drummer Mick Avory<\/b> fondly recalls, “I have memories of playing this song on the US tours in the 70s. It’s a good old stomper for the stage.”<\/p>\n
The Journey – Part 2<\/I>, compiled by the band, will be available on 2 CD, 2 LP, Digital and HD Digital formats. The physical formats contain a booklet with band photos and track-by-track notes written by original members Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Mick Avory, sharing their memories of the time and weaving them into The Kinks’ incredible story.<\/p>\n
