Kinks ‎– Preservation Act 1

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON RCA 1973

RCA SF 8392 made in England.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

Preservation is Ray Davies' most ambitious project -- a musical that used the quaint, small-town nostalgia of Village Green as a template to draw the entirety of society and how it works. Or, at least that's what the concept seems to be, since the storyline was so convoluted, it necessitated three separate LPs, spread over two albums, and it still didn't really make sense because the first album, Preservation, Act 1, acted more like an introduction to the characters, and all the story was condensed into the second album.
