THE KINKS RAY DAVIES, DAVE DAVIES, MICK AVORY, PETE QUAIFEAn early highlight of the British Invasion that artfully chronicled British life past and present, fueled by the songwriting genius of Ray Davies.
Although they weren t as boldly innovative as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who, the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion.
Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an RB/blues outfit.
Within four years, the band had become the most staunchly English of all their contemporaries, drawing heavily from British music hall and traditional pop, as well as incorporating elements of country, folk, and blues THE KINKS ARE THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY 1968 LP PYE RECORDS SLBP 63.003 STEREO MADE IN ITALY ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSINGFULL LAMINATED SLEEVEThe tracklisting and the cover differ from the UK releaseBarcode and Other IdentifiersLABEL: PYE - PLUM LABELS - BLACK TEXTCatalog on cover: spine back SLBP 63.003 Catalog on labels: SLBP 63.003 S 63.003/1 - S 63.003/2 Matrix / Runout Side A, Etched : S-63003-1 29-10-68Matrix / Runout Side B, Etched : S-63003-2On labels: upper rim text reads Licensed by PYE Limited, England lower rim text reads Made in Italy by Dischi Ricordi S.p.A.

As the opening title song says, the Kinks -- meaning Ray himself, in this case -- were for preserving draught beer and virginity, and throughout the rest of the album, he creates a series of stories, sketches, and characters about a picturesque England that never really was.
It s a lovely, gentle album, evoking a small British country town, and drawing the listener into its lazy rhythms and sensibilities...
