Preservation Act 2
1974 2LP (Orange Label) Gatefold Original. 'Preservation Act 2' by The Kinks, it's a bit of a hidden gem in their extensive discography. This album, released in 1974, is like a quirky storybook that takes you on a nostalgic journey to a bygone era. Ray Davies' songwriting is as sharp and witty as ever, weaving tales of characters and scenarios that feel like snapshots of a British music hall from yesteryears.

One of the standout tracks, 'Money Talks' is melodic jaunt that showcases Ray's storytelling prowess. It's impossible not to get caught up in the whimsical world he creates. And 'Mirror of Love' is like a jaunty time machine, whisking you away to an era of vaudevillian entertainment.

Of course, 'Preservation Act 2' is part of a larger rock opera project, so there's a theatrical quality to the whole affair. It may not have garnered the same attention as some of The Kinks' more famous albums, but it's a delightful musical journey that's worth taking if you're a fan of their distinctive brand of British rock and Ray Davies' unique storytelling."
