Description
Kinks 1st Press OZ LP Arthur or the decline and fall VG+ ’69 Astor SPLP1308
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1969 on Astor Records. Cat: SPLP1308. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) extends the British-oriented themes of Village Green Preservation Society, telling the story of a London man's decision to move to Australia during the aftermath of World War II. It's a detailed and loving song cycle, capturing the minutiae of suburban life, the numbing effect of bureaucracy, and the horrors of war. On paper, Arthur sounds like a pretentious mess, but Ray Davies' lyrics and insights have rarely been so graceful or deftly executed, and the music is remarkable.
Tracks : Victoria/ Yes sir, no sir/ Some mother’s son/ Drivin’/ Brainwashed/ Australia/ Shangri-la/ Mr. Churchill says/ She bought a hat/ Like princess Marina/ Young and innocent days/ Nothing to say/ Arthur.
