About The Village Green Preservation Society (Stereo Mix)

In a contemporary interview, Ray explained that he composed "The Village Green Preservation Society" after someone suggested to him that the Kinks had been preserving "nice things from the past". The song states the band's intentions to "preserve" things and consists of a listing of British institutions to be saved for posterity, including vaudeville, the George Cross medal and its recipients, draught beer and virginity, among others. Ray subsequently described the song as the album's "national anthem". .

[00:09.70] We are the Village Green Preservation Society
[00:14.14] God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
