First released in 1979, the album *Low Budget* marked a turning point in the Kinks' later career with its harder, stadium-ready sound. It became one of the band's strongest US albums and remains one of the defining records of their late-1970s output.
This 2026 edition has been remastered from the original sources, offering improved clarity, balance, and dynamics without compromising the character of the original mix. Tracks such as "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman," "Catch Me Now I'm Falling," and the title track benefit from a more detailed and focused presentation.
