Passé presque inaperçu à sa sortie en novembre 1968, « The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society » est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des meilleurs albums britanniques jamais réalisés, malgré son échec commercial de l'époque. «... le flop qui a le mieux marché de tous les temps», disait Ray Davies. Un album qui marqua l'apogée de la remarquable carrière des Kinks devenant ainsi le chef-d'oeuvre de Ray Davies. Il reste inégalé et résistera à l'épreuve du temps. Entièrement remastérisé en version Coffret Super Deluxe (174 titres, Double Vinyle, 7-45tours, livre de 52 pages, Mémorabilia). Avec de nombreuses versions inédites, 3 inédits dont le titre «Time Song» joué par le groupe en 1973 au Theatre Royal de Londres, pour commémorer l'entrée de l'Angleterre dans le Marché Commun.
