The Kinks - Preservation act 1 album cover | |||||||||||||||
Preservation: Act 1 and Preservation: Act 2 are a 1973 concept released as separate albums in 1973 and 1974 by the English rock group The Kinks.
The Preservation albums were not well-received by critics and sold poorly (the first one peaking on the Billboard 200 at #177), though the live performances of the material were much better received. Many hardcore Kinks fans were alienated by Ray Davies' melodramatic songwriting during the Preservation project era, resulting in albums that played more like the soundtracks to a piece of musical theatre than rock albums. However, more recent reviews of Preservation: Act 1 have been more sympathetic to its ambitions, and its inclusion of the track "Sweet Lady Genevieve", which All Music's Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls the "real candidate for Davies' forgotten masterpiece". The CD reissue of Preservation: Act 1 includes the single versions of "Preservation" and "One of the Survivors," not available on the original vinyl release. The latter briefly charted on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and peaked at #108. Track listing: Preservation: Act 1: 1. "Preservation"* – 3:37 2. "Morning Song" – 2:00 3. "Daylight" – 3:19 4.
