The Kinks were one of the only bands not to turn hippie and drugs. Thanks Ray for not following the crowd and doing what music YOU wanted to do and not doing music just because the Beatles were.

I have only recently discovered "the Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society", the album from which these songs are taken...truly a masterpiece

@er1975us - thanks. That makes since. It's just way too off and strange on picture book.

@MrAlexcellent they are really singing ...but over the actual instrumental track.....the first Karaoke ?..haha

[MrAlexcellent]

Are, are they actually playing on this? I don't see any cables, and other than some reverb on the voices, it's so awful similar to the familiar.

@Melodyfayre Hiya as far as i know this clip is from Jan 1969 Pete left in April of that year. He was involved in the rehearsals for the next album Arthur but left before that LP was released.
