The Kinks / Lola 50th anniversary

1970 album reissued across four physical formats


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.

The Lola box set features three CDs, two seven-inch singles and a book


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).
