The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Kinks. Released on 22 November 1968, Village Green is regarded by commentators as an early concept album. A modest seller on release, it was the band's first studio album which failed to chart in either the United Kingdom or United States, but was lauded by contemporary critics for its songwriting. It was embraced by America's new underground rock press, completing the Kinks' transformation from mid-1960s pop hitmakers to critically favoured cult band.

dbo:abstract
  • The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society je konceptuální album od britské rockové skupiny The Kinks. Nostalgie, kterou Ray Davies prezentoval na předchozím studiovém albu Something Else by The Kinks, se na této desce proměnila v manifest, jímž truchlí nad vytrácením starých anglických tradic. Jak zpívají v titulní písni, Kinks chrání to staré dobré čepované pivo, jahodový jam a panenství Anglie. Celé album je sérií obrázků a příběhů o malebném Albionu, jaký ve skutečnosti nikdy nebyl. Je to příjemná, klidná deska, evokující malé město a vtahující posluchače do pomalých rytmů, které vyvolávají dojem sladkobolného zamlženého snu. Pod povrchem je po celou dobu cítit jakoby lítost nad těmito nenávratně ztracenými idylickými časy. Díky velice střídmé kompozici a instrumentaci písní tato deska zní spíše jako sólový projekt Raye Daviese, než jako LP Kinks. Z klidného proudu téměř identických písní se vymyká pouze „Wicked Annabella“ od Davea Daviese. Ač celá koncepce alba může působit až příliš uvolněně, každá skladba má po hudební i textové stránce mnoho vrstev a přináší řadu inovací. Tato deska zároveň přispěla ke zrodu nových generací vyznavačů britského kytarového popu. (cs)

  • The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Kinks. Released on 22 November 1968, Village Green is regarded by commentators as an early concept album. A modest seller on release, it was the band's first studio album which failed to chart in either the United Kingdom or United States, but was lauded by contemporary critics for its songwriting. It was embraced by America's new underground rock press, completing the Kinks' transformation from mid-1960s pop hitmakers to critically favoured cult band. Bandleader Ray Davies loosely conceptualised the album as a collection of character studies, an idea he based on Dylan Thomas's 1954 radio drama Under Milk Wood. Centring on themes of nostalgia, memory and preservation, the album reflects Davies's concerns about the increasing modernisation and encroaching influence of America and Europe on English society. Musically an example of pop or rock music, the album incorporates a range of stylistic influences, including music hall, blues, psychedelia and calypso. It was the first album which Davies produced on his own and was the last to feature the original Kinks line-up, as bassist Pete Quaife departed the band in March 1969. It also marked the final collaboration between the Kinks and session keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, whose playing features heavily on piano, harpsichord and Mellotron. Other than "Village Green", which was recorded in November 1966 and re-recorded in February 1967, sessions for the album began in March 1968 at Pye Studios in London. In addition to the non-album singles "Wonderboy" and "Days", the sessions resulted in numerous tracks, some of which went unreleased for years. The album's planned September 1968 release was delayed by two months in the UK after Davies's last-minute decision to rearrange and augment the track listing, though release of the earlier twelve-track edition went ahead in several European countries. The album had no accompanying lead single in the UK, though "Starstruck" was issued in the US and Europe. Despite its initial commercial shortcomings, it has influenced numerous musical acts, especially American indie artists from the late 1980s and 1990s and Britpop groups like Blur and Oasis. Driven in part by this influence, the album experienced a critical and commercial resurgence in the 1990s, and it has been reissued several times, including an expanded edition in 2018. The album has since become the Kinks' best-selling album in the UK, where it was certified silver in 2008 and gold in 2018. It has been included in several critics' and listeners' polls for the best albums of all time, including those published by Rolling Stone magazine and in the book All Time Top 1000 Albums. (en)
  • The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society indicato anche come Village Green Preservation Society è il sesto album in studio del gruppo rock inglese The Kinks, pubblicato nel novembre 1968. È stato l'ultimo album del quartetto originale (il bassista Pete Quaife lascerà il gruppo nei primi mesi del 1969). È un concept album ambientato in un villaggio inglese tradizionale. È considerato quasi un album solista di Ray Davies, dove esprime la sua nostalgia per le vecchie tradizioni rurali inglesi. È composto da canzoni scritte e registrate nel corso dei due anni precedenti. Anche se le vendite dell'album furono all'epoca deludenti, oggi il disco viene ampiamente considerato una delle opere più influenti ed importanti dei Kinks. Nel 2003, l'album è stato inserito alla posizione numero 255 nella lista dei 500 migliori album di sempre redatta dalla rivista Rolling Stone. (it)

  • 『ヴィレッジ・グリーン・プリザヴェイション・ソサエティ』(英語: The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society)は、1968年にリリースされたキンクスのアルバム。 バンドのリーダーでありソングライターであるレイ・デイヴィスは、イギリスの田舎生活と古き良き時代に対する敬意を表したコンセプト・アルバムとして本作を創り上げた。レイは、ヒット・シングル志向からより個人的でノスタルジックな方向へと作風を変え、レコーディングに2年を費やした。1968年の夏から始められたレコーディング・セッションは、当初レイのソロ・アルバムおよび「ヴィレッジ・グリーン」のステージ・ショーへの使用を考えられていたため、キンクスの持つイメージやスタイルとは大きく異なる物であった。 発表時はサイケデリックブーム真っ只中とあって、ある意味では正反対の方向を志向した本作は、商業的に苦戦することとなる。 1968年の夏に、バンドは20曲入りの2枚組アルバムとして本作をリリースしようとしたが、パイ・レコードに拒絶された。レイは、リリースの直前までアルバムに手を入れ続け、収録曲を変更するため12曲入りの初期リリース・ヴァージョンの生産を停止させた。現在、12曲入りのアルバムはコレクターズ・アイテムとなっている。 『ローリング・ストーン誌が選ぶオールタイム・ベストアルバム500』に於いて、258位にランクイン。 (ja)

  • The Village Green Preservation Society är ett konceptalbum av The Kinks utgivet i november 1968 på Pye Records. Albumet ger en nostalgisk tillbakablick på det som en gång var i England. Till tonen är albumet mycket lugnt och sansat. Det inspelade materialet sträckte sig tillbaka till 1966. Samtidigt som man spelade in det här albumet spelades även singeln "Days" in. Detta blev det sista albumet som Pete Quaife, gruppens originalbasist, medverkade på. Skivan blev ett kommersiellt nederlag när den lanserades, både i hemlandet Storbritannien och USA och tog sig inte in på någon försäljningslista. Musiken kontrasterade starkt med det då psykedeliska musiklandskapet. Skivan har senare blivit mer uppmärksammad och av kritiker setts som ett av The Kinks bästa album. Det placerades bland annat på #255 på tidskriften Rolling Stones lista The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. (sv)

  • The recording's flute opening was achieved by holding down the keys on the Mellotron and allowing each tape loop to spool all the way through. Author Steve Alleman considers the song's Mellotron contribution one of the few times in the Kinks' discography where they approach psychedelia. (en)
  • In addition to heavy reverb on its drums, percussion and tack piano, the song being recorded in Pye's bigger studio provided it with a noticeably larger sound than the rest of the record. (en)

  • I think the Kinks should go to America – there's been a good reaction to our latest album [Village Green] and singles over there.... In many ways the Americans seem more sympathetic – especially on the West Coast. The people there seem more interested in things like the Village Green Preservation Society and Tudor houses and cricket – more so, even, than in [England]. They're not as bogged down and restricted as English people. (en)
  • Everybody's trying to change the world; I've tried and I'll probably try again, but I don't think you can change Britain that much, because we're the way we are. So I'm just going to try and hang on to a lot of the nice things. (en)
  • Pete [Quaife] and I were trying to get the excitement of our performances on record and that's just the way it came out. On songs like "Big Sky," I'd think of a bass part and give it to him and he'd change it around – play off the melody, like Paul McCartney was starting to do at the time, because they both started as guitar players – and it would create something completely different and also really new-sounding. (en)
  • For me [Village Green] represents the only real album made by the Kinks. It is probably the only album made by us in which we all contributed something. (en)
  • I hope England doesn't change. I'm writing a song now called "You Ain't What You Used to Be" which expresses what I feel. I hope we don't get swallowed up by America and Europe. I'm really proud of being British... I don't care if a bloke votes Labour or Conservative as long as he appreciates what we've got here. We have so much that is great, compared with other countries, and people just don't realise it. I want to keep writing very English songs. (en)
