The Kinks‘ 1969 album Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire) reissued as a 50th anniversary super deluxe edition box set.
This set is presented differently to The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society box set; Arthur is it is smaller, seven-inch square, three-inch deep package, which holds four CDs, four seven-inch singles, a book and some other ‘bits’.
The first two CDs offer the album in newly remastered mono and stereo versions (both with seven bonus tracks) while the third disc features music from a ‘lost’ Dave Davies solo album. CD 4 offers a collection of demos, rehearsals, theatrical versions and remixes. In total there are 81 tracks – five previously unreleased and 28 previously unreleased ‘versions’.
The four seven-inch singles feature international sleeve art. They are: Drivin’, Victoria, Shangri-La and Hold My Hand (Dave Davies solo).
Additionally, this set comes with a 68-page softback book with essays and new interviews with Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Mick Avory. This Arthur box also includes reproduced photos and posters and a special bespoke metal/enamel logo pin badge.

A hardcover book two-CD edition will also be available that pairs the remastered stereo edition of Arthur with the Dave Davies solo album. The 2LP vinyl set has the same remastered stereo on the first LP and offers a selection of rarities on the second.
Grading System:
MINT - Only an unplayed or sealed record gets this grade NM (Near Mint) - Shows very little sign of play with very minimal or no scratches EX (Excellent) - Close to near mint, but with more than one or two small scratches that do not impact play VG+ (Very Good+) - Only has hairline scratches that are not obtrusive, may play with some surface noise at parts VG (Very Good) - Has multiple hairline scratches of varying sizes, possibly a feel-able scratch that would impact play if noted G+ (Good plus) - Has many scratches, including feelable ones that impact play G (Good) - Never understood why this is called "good", a record with this grade is far from it. Many feelable scratches, possibly a skip P (Poor) - I typically do not auction records in this condition
