Our Take

Ah, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, an album so British it practically comes with a cup of tea and a crumpet. This charming little record oozes nostalgia like a leaky teapot, transporting you back to a time when the village green was as sacred as the Queen's corgis.

Ray Davies' songwriting is as cheeky as a chav on a lads' holiday, with witty lyrics that paint a vivid picture of quintessentially English characters and settings. From the whimsical "Do You Remember Walter?" to the bittersweet "Picture Book," each track is a miniature masterpiece that captures the essence of a bygone era.

The instrumentation on this album is like a Sunday roast with all the trimmings - lush strings, jangly guitars, and jaunty horns that give the songs an extra layer of depth and texture. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket made of melody and harmony.

And let's not forget the vocal harmonies, which are tighter than a bowler's grip on a cricket ball. Ray and Dave Davies' voices blend together like strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, creating a sound that is both timeless and uniquely British.

In conclusion, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society is a delightful romp through a bygone era, full of whimsy, wit, and musical prowess. It's a true classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. So grab a cuppa, put on your best tweed jacket, and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.
