A legendary classic rock band has released a never-before-heard version of one of their greatest hits.
On Thursday, June 12, iconic British rock band The Kinks released a live version of their 1966 hit "Sunny Afternoon" that was recorded at their 1993 Royal Albert Hall show in London. It has never been released before, so unless you were there, you've never heard this version. Listen here.
This live version of "Sunny Afternoon" is part of the band celebrating its 60th anniversary with a trilogy of albums called The Journey.
The Journey — Part 1 and The Journey — Part 2 came out in 2023; now the final chapter in the trilogy, The Journey — Part 3, is being released on July 11, 2025, and will feature two discs of special 1 features 11 classic tracks from the band's Arista period, remastered from the original production tapes. Disc 2 is a very special release featuring recordings previously never released and discovered in the Kinks studio archive, selected from their July 11, 1993, Royal Albert Hall show.
'As far as performances go, it was a high point achievement of the Kinks,' founding member Dave Davies said of the Royal Albert Hall show.
