Доп. информация:
Preservation was not well-received by critics and sold poorly (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. In particular, All Music’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine has declared “Sweet Lady Genevieve” to be the “real candidate for Davies’ forgotten masterpiece”.

отсебятина
Продолжаем изучать творчество легендарной британской банды.
Напомню, - в те годы они сотрудничали с RCA что несомненно накладывало некий оттенок на их свободное творчество.
Этот альбом получил почти самую плохую прессу в те годы, хуже был воспринят только их следующий альбом.
Иначе как "водевиль" их творчество не называли.... британский рок так многолик!
Ну а сегодня... сегодня звучание показалось на удивление свежим и оригинальным
