Originally released in 1981, Give the People What They Want continued The Kinks’ early 80s run with a direct, guitar-driven sound and pointed, contemporary themes. One of their strongest-performing U.S. releases, the album features standout tracks including “Destroyer,” “Better Things,” and “Around the Dial.”

This 2026 edition has been newly remastered from the original production sources, offering improved clarity, definition, and overall balance while retaining the character and energy of the original mixes.
