THE KINKS – Preservation Act 1 (2023 Reissue) – LP – 180g Vinyl

Description

LP – 180g Black Vinyl.

Preservation Act 1 is a concept album and the 12th studio LP by The Kinks, originally released on RCA on 16 November 1973.

Preservation is the bands most ambitious project – a rock opera that uses the charming, small-town nostalgia of Village Green as a template to draw the entirety of society and how it works.

Epic opener Morning Song sets the scene and mood for the record, followed by a classic sounding Dave Davies riff, Daylight, which echoes themes and sounds tones of one their most recognisable and highly acclaimed albums, The Village Green Preservation Society. Standout tracks are the endearingly lazy Sitting in the Midday Sun and the beautiful Sweet Lady Genevieve both strong contenders for overlooked Ray Davies masterpieces.
