Description

The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is widely regarded as Ray Davies’ masterpiece — a nostalgic, sharply observed, quintessentially British concept album celebrating (and mourning) the fading charms of village life, tradition, and memory.

Released in 1968, the album was initially overlooked but has since become one of the most acclaimed works of the era, praised for its wit, warmth, and timeless song writing. This BMG/Sanctuary reissue delivers excellent sound and faithfully reproduces the original artwork, making it an essential addition to any classic rock or 60s pop collection.
