Book Reviews of The Kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society (Thirty Three and a Third series)
Book Review: a thorough examination
Summary: 5 Stars
the kinks are the village green preservation society was released on the same day as the beatles white album, november 22, 1968.
the album charted nowhere in the world:the combined US sales of the album and its predecessor 'something else by the kinks' were estimated at a paltry 25,000.
those two facts out of the way, I'd like to declare the broad depth, research and discussion this tiny book carries.
the author analyses 'village green' beginning with the preceeding album(s)and singles while touching on related subjects involving following albums(Arthur, the great lost kinks album, Four More Respected Gentlemen, etc.)...the cultural climate, Rays' personal life and his family, what the rock scribes of the day had to say and quotes from all members of the Kinks.
Once into the album itself, Andy Miller details each track providing all there is to say, to report and to opine about said track. no stone left unturned.
such a small book and yet filled to the brim with really, absolutely everything there is to learn about the subject..that being, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society. Through the entire book we learn specifically how its singer and songwriter Ray Davies felt about the album, his band and the success and lack of fortune that that period provided.
the many......many quotes from all concerned thoroughly explains every facet to the making of this cherished classic album.
indepth. seriously indepth. that is my statement regarding this book.
Andy Miller did a fantastic job.
