Double Listing - 20 Golden Greats

Based on time frame of March, 1979 looks like #26 & #44 (20 Greatest Hits) are the same.

Data fixed, thanks

#25 & #27 are the same (Kinks Kinkdom). Also #34 & #50 (Come Dancing With the Kinks). Also #42 & #51 (Kinks Greatest Celluloid Heroes). And #45 & #52 (Preservation Act 2). Finally #43 & #46 seem to be the same (20 Golden Greats).

Data fixed, thanks

Double Listing - Kinks-Size

#9 and #17 seem to be the same album (also possibly #5?).

That looks correct, data fixed, thanks
