Originally released in 1979, Low Budget marked a pivotal late career high point for The Kinks with a tougher, arena-ready sound. It became one of the band’s strongest U.S. releases and remains a defining album of their late 70s period.
This 2026 edition has been newly remastered from the original production sources, delivering improved clarity, balance, and dynamic range while preserving the character of the original mix. Tracks including “(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman,” “Catch Me Now I’m Falling,” and the title track benefit from a more detailed and focused presentation.
