THE KINKSRAY DAVIES, DAVE DAVIES, MICK AVORY, PETE QUAIFE
An early highlight of the British Invasion that artfully chronicled British life past and present,
fueled by the songwriting genius of Ray Davies. Although they weren't as boldly innovative
as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who,
the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion.
Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an R&B/blues outfit.
Within four years, the band had become the most staunchly English of all their contemporaries,
drawing heavily from British music hall and traditional pop,
as well as incorporating elements of country, folk, and blues

SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
Ray Davies' sentimental, nostalgic streak emerged on Something Else, but it developed
into a manifesto on The Village Green Preservation Society, a concept album lamenting
the passing of old-fashioned English traditions.
As the opening title song says, the Kinks -- meaning Ray himself, in this case --
were for preserving "draught beer and virginity," and throughout the rest of the album,
he creates a series of stories, sketches, and characters about a picturesque England
that never really was. It's a lovely, gentle album, evoking a small British country town,
and drawing the listener into its lazy rhythms and sensibilities...(AllMusic)
