PRESERVATION ACT 2 is the Kinks' 13th studio album, and is the second act of a concept album released in 1974, continuing the story/concept theme of their previous album, PRESERVATION ACT 1.This piece further expands on Ray Davies' musical theater, using the nostalgia of the charming small town of Village Green as a template for a story about society as a whole and how it works, with theatrical development, instrumentation, announcements, guest singers, and the songs themselves, all conceptually and elaborately assembled. The production is a further development of Ray Davies's musical theater, which is based on a concept that is elaborately constructed from all of the elements: theatrical development, instrumentation, announcements, guest singers, and the songs themselves. The Kinks' unique charm is evident in songs such as "Money Talks," "He's Evil," "Mirror Of Love," and "Artificial Man," which are all included on this release. This is the first re-press of the original analog release since 1974, with the exception of a US-only reissue in 2008, This will be a must-have for fans of The Kinks.
