Recensie

Are The Village Green Preservation Society verkocht destijds voor geen meter, maar misschien is het wel het beste album dat The Kinks ooit opnamen (en het laatste album in de oorspronkelijke bezetting). Een ultr- Britse kijk op de samenleving, met klassiekers als Picture Book, de logge rocker Last of the Steam Powered Trains en niet in de laatste plaats het titelstuk. Tekstueel overtrof Ray Davies zichzelf en hij schetst een prachtige wereld uit vervlogen tijden. Het album wordt uitgebracht in diverse vinyl en cd formaten, waaronder de dubbel-cd met de mono- en stereomixen en aangevuld met prachtsingles als Days en Wonderboy en het nooit eerder uitgebracht Time Song. De meest uitgebreide versie is een luxe box met LP’s, singles, een prachtig boek en maar liefst 5 cd’s boordevol outtakes en radio-opnames. Dat lijkt veel, maar Are The Village Green Preservation Society verslaat met gemak veel bekendere albums uit 1968 en is een essentieel bezit voor liefhebbers van Britse popmuziek.
