The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society - 1968
The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society – шестой студийный альбом английской рок-группы The Kinks, выпущенный в ноябре 1968 года. Этот альбом стал для группы последним, выпущенным ей в первоначальном составе – басист Пит Куэйф (Pete Quaife) покинул группу в начале 1969-го. Альбом The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society был составлен из песен, написанных за два года. Главный редактор Allmusic Стивен Томас Эрлуайн (Stephen Thomas Erlewine) писал о релизе: «этот альбом – стенание по уходу в небытие старых английских традиций». Этот альбом считается одной из наиболее влиятельных работ Kinks, однако сразу он успеха в чартах не получил. Первоначальные продажи составили всего 100,000 копий. В 2003 году альбом занял 255-ое место в списке 500 лучших альбомов всех вермён по версии журнала Rolling Stone.
