Village Green 2-CD set

[Xenu]

Apparently stencilled in for November. Yay?

Wonder if it'll follow the lead of the '98 discs (ewww) or the sporadic 2001 Sanctuary upgrades (i.e. the Wicked Annabella and Phenomenal Cat monos on the Psychedelic Pstones Volume 2, which sounded the best I've ever heard 'em).

This is from a Kinks, fan website...

Record Collector magazine says "Sanctuary will release a deluxe 2-CD version of the Kinks Village Green Preservation Society in November, and it will be followed early in 2004 by both a 4-CD Kinks box set, and the fabled Dave Davies solo album."

I'm considering picking up that Pstones CD ... How would you rate the other material on it? I'm unfamiliar with most of it, but I've been getting more interested in '60s British psych-pop; would I be buying it just for the pair of Kinks tracks or is it worthwhile overall? Thanks.
