#384 The Kinks, 'The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society' (1969)

Following ‘Something Else By The Kinks’ (#478), this record was another commercial flop on release. Much like its predecessor, its success was hampered by The Beatles, released on the same day as ‘The White Album.’ Despite this, the album would go on to become the band’s best-selling record. Ray Davies has called it “the most successful ever flop.”
