Well Respected Kinks is a compilation album by the English rock band the Kinks. It was released on in the United Kingdom on Pye Records's Marble Arch label. The album consists of previously issued singles and EP tracks recorded in 1964 and 1965. It was issued in both mono and simulated stereo formats.
The Kinks' most recent single "Sunny Afternoon" topped the British charts in mid-1966, but contractual issues delayed the August release of their next album Face to Face; Pye assembled the compilation in order to maintain the band's popularity before Face to Face could be released in lateOctober. Well Respected Kinks spent 31 weeks on the British Record Retailer magazine chart, peaking at number 5. It also reached number 2 in Finland.
All songs written by Ray Davies, except "Wait Till the Summer Comes Along" by Dave Davies.
