Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Limited Vinyl Records LP Vinyl The Kinks Preservation Act 1 is a concept album and the 12th studio LP by The Kinks, originally released on RCA on 16 November 1973.Preservation is the bands most ambitious project a rock opera that uses the charming, smalltown nostalgia of Village Green as a template to draw the entirety of society and how it works.Epic opener ‘Morning Song’ sets the scene and mood for the record, followed by a classic sounding Dave Davies’ riff, ‘Daylight’, which echoes themes and sounds tones of one their most recognisable and highly acclaimed albums, ‘The Village Green Preservation Society’.Standout tracks are the endearingly lazy ‘Sitting in the Midday Sun’ and the beautiful ‘Sweet Lady Genevieve’ – both strong contenders for overlooked Ray Davies masterpieces.A critically acclaimed album, reviewed by Rolling Stone at the time as A highly listenable, enjoyable album.This release is a faithful reproduction of the original 1973 album, on heavyweight 180g vinyl. A musthave for any Kinks fan and its first vinyl repress, apart from a limited edition 2008 US edition, since the original 1973 LP release.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.

Limited

— Limited editions are pressed in restricted quantities, making them more exclusive and often more desirable to collectors. Whether it’s a special colour variant, alternate artwork, numbered sleeve, or short production run, these releases are produced for a defined period or capped total. Choose a limited pressing if you’re looking for something rarer than a standard release. Once they’re gone, they’re usually gone — making them ideal for collectors who appreciate scarcity, unique presentation, and the potential long-term value of a hard-to-find edition..
