About This Item
Preservation Act 1 LP The Kinks - Preservation Act 1 is a concept album and the 12th studio album by the Kinks, originally released November 1973 by RCA Records. 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 InchMorning SongInch sets the scene and mood for the record, followed by a classic sounding Dave Davies' riff, InchDaylight,Inch 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 InchSitting in the Midday SunInch and the beautiful InchSweet Lady GenevieveInch - both strong contenders for overlooked Ray Davies. A critically acclaimed album, reviewed by Rolling Stone at the time as InchA highly listenable, enjoyable albumInch. Album Tracks 1. Morning Song 2. Daylight 3. Sweet Lady Genevieve 4.
