The brand new efforts have been the source of much speculation among Kinks fan. One such track was released today, as a lyric music video: a recording of a previously unreleased number called “The Future,” which has Davies singing with a doo-wop ensemble.
“Hearing Dave’s songs again after all this time,” Ray says in the liner notes, “I found them quite moving because they were like the back story of what the Kinks were going through at the time.” Dave himself offers: “One of the reasons the album wasn’t finished was because I felt the Kinks’ management and record company were forcing me too much” at a time after he’d had success with a 1967 solo single, “Death of a Clown.
As with the excellent boxed set that came out last year in anniversary celebration of a 1968 concept album, “The Village Green Preservation Society,” this one is filled with riches. At the core of the set are four CDs including 81 tracks, 33 of which were not included in previous, less ambitious “Arthur” re-releases.
Over the years, a wider cult has grown around “Village Green Preservation Society” as the Kinks’ true masterpiece. Both deal with changes in English society, but “Arthur” was both more narrative and more arguably rocking. Listening to the opening track, “Victoria” , Rolling Stone’s critic wrote, “The band drops off all restraints and finally performs like a real rock and roll band instead of like a bunch of old ladies.
