Excited to share information about the update of Doug Hinman's Kinks Day-By-Day book, coming soon from www.Beatlandbooks.com - if you want a preorder discount code, please signup. There is no firm publishing ship date yet, but we are getting closer!
First published in 2004, Doug Hinman’s authoritative book on The Kinks’ history is considered the ultimate reference source for the facts on their recordings, releases, concert dates, as well as radio and TV appearances. Now with 20 years of non-stop research, Beatland is set to bring back the book in a massively enhanced and fully rewritten series of volumes. The first (scheduled for publication in winter 2025) expands The Kinks’ origin story (1940-1963) through to their seminal Pye/Reprise recordings (1964-1971), adding dozens of newly uncovered dates and merging analysis of every recording made during that period.
Doug’s original book covered The Kinks’ entire career in 350 pages in black & white print. Part 1 from Beatland is poised to run 500 pages, fully illustrated in color with ephemera and images never before published. For this new edition, Hinman has teamed with fellow Kink reissue kompiler, Andrew Sandoval, to expand the contents and dig even deeper to document the group’s creative journey. You can expect to find details of heretofore unknown songs, canceled concerts and detailed contemporary reviews from dozens of primary international sources.
As with previous Beatland titles, Part 1 of The Kinks – All Day And All Of The Night will be available in three distinct limited editions:
SUPER DELUXE EDITION: A hand-numbered and autographed hardback book with dust jacket. Housed in a cloth-covered, hard shell case, this version features a selection of goodies reproduced from Doug’s archives, as well as a set of postcards and photos.
DELUXE EDITION: A hand-numbered and autographed hardback book with dust jacket. Housed in an exclusive UV gloss slipcover.
OPEN EDITION: A high-quality flexi-bound book printed on heavy stock paper, with unique binding to allow fully flat page access.
Prices and shipping dates to follow. Please register your interest at www.beatlandbooks.com to be informed of discounted pre-order pricing. Please note, this book is being printed in a limited run and will only be available from the Beatland site. No retail, digital or Amazon editions will be printed.
