Product description

THE KINKS ARE THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY 50th ANNIVERSARY SUPER DELUXE BOX SET - 2018 REMASTER

This lavishly packaged super-deluxe box set is part of the BMG 'Art Of The Album' series, which focuses specifically on high quality, bespoke packaged re-issues of seminal albums within the BMG catalogue, offering the highest spec audio masters and original artwork. The set contains remastered original LPs, CDs of the remastered original albums plus a wealth of unreleased bonus material, reproduced 7" singles, deluxe hardback photo book with comprehensive notes and new band interviews, and reproduced original memorabilia. Somewhat overlooked upon its release in November 1968, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society is now seen as one of the best British albums ever recorded. Created in difficult circumstances by a band who refused to follow fashion, it is an album of timeless, perfectly crafted songs about growing up and growing old, and the decline of national culture and traditional ways. Enduring and unsurpassed, with its wit, sadness, quiet anger, regret and charm, it is generally considered the high point of The Kinks’ outstanding career and Ray Davies’ masterpiece. A calm, nostalgic album which feels like a sweet, hazy dream but with endless layers of musical and lyrical innovation, The Village Green Preservation Society’s defiantly British sensibilities became the foundation of generations of British guitar pop. God Save The Village Green!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent document of one of the great albums
Reviewed in the United States on 2 January 2023

The Kinks seem chronically underappreciated, and this is one of their great albums.

This could easily have been released as a double or triple album in 1968, and it should have been one of the biggest sellers of that year, but with the band still banned from the USA, it never got the exposure it should have.

Here we get a fantastic box set commemorating this wonderful album.

I'm more of a cd guy, but the records (vinyl for the kids) are really top quality also.

I can't recommend this set enough.
Ray Davies is a legend, and this album is a wonderful statement reflecting on what we have lost in the modern world.
Intentionally against the flow of the flower power era.... Davies didn't zone out into dippy trippy hippy world, he dug deep into the heart of humans and wrote a character study on the human race that stands up even taller today than it did in 1968.

Mine came with a small dent on right side top, from Amazon, but felt it was to much trouble to send back, Now this is well worth the price with lps going for 30 to 45 dollars and you get three, plus the 45's plus 5cd's with the hard cover book ++++ Buy it now it will go up and the sound is finally fantastic. Maybe someone at Amazon will read this and give me...……....

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kinks were at least the equal to The Beatles & Rolling Stones...this proves it

The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society proves that America missed the boat on The Kinks. The 5 year ban on the band touring the US from 1965-69 was detrimental to them breaking the US in the way other UK bands, otherwise "Village Green Preservation Society" would be looked upon as "Sgt Peppers" or the "White Album". It's impossible to revise history but time has a way of unveiling the overlooked and setting things straight. Happily it appears younger generations in America are finally giving the album it's due. This box set is truly a gift. While I'm sure there are still mountains of demos and studio outtakes, you get the sense they really tried to give fans the best of what is there from these sessions. The packaging is amongst the best I've seen for any archival piece. A massive set with lots of goodies to pour over for those of us that know the importance of this album. Certainly not for the casual fan, I'll be picking up the recent release of "Arthur" which has been given a lovely new treatment. Can't wait to see what else comes from The Kinks...a documentary featuring all members is way overdue.

This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who is a HUGE Kinks fan and he can't stop talking about what a great set it is. Although he loves to talk the details of it, I can't recall them, so I will just summarize by saying that he loves every single item in this set and can't believe how many items were included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal "Album"

My favorite Kinks album. Never get tired of listening to it. This box is simply incredible. All the vinyl and cds! The original album has stood the test of time. While many albums from '68 sound dated this Kinks does not. The songwriting is superb. There are many interesting characters to meet on the journey through the album. The packaging is terrific. Definitely worth picking up. When it goes out of print it's going to command a very steep price. You won't be disappointed!
