Sunny Afternoon based on soundtrack to acclaimed West End musical

The Kinks’ Ray Davies has curated the tracklist for upcoming compilation album Sunny Afternoon.

Due on October 16, it features the original recordings of every song used in the acclaimed West End musical of the same name, based on the iconic band’s career.
