What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

KINKS  "the village green preservation society" cd, 1968

their sixth and the start of a series of concept albums...
released the same day as 'the white album'...
universally praised by critics but failed to sell, in fact it only sold its 100,000th copy in the UK in 2020.
so, the concept is about a longing to get back to a simpler world.
i guess he got his wish with this album...
one of my 'go to' albums by the band...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
