I loved Preservation. I felt and still do that it illustrates the political climate of the UK (if not the world) and is equally as relevant today as it was back in 1973/74. I also strongly believe that both albums contain some of the strongest song writing that Ray Davies has ever written although some of it could be edited in places.

I think it is incredibly sad that Ray has junked this album and has chosen to bury it in the 1970's as a relic to be forgotten.

If your reading this Ray; Please stop putting your time and money into devising rubbishy duke box musicals for the tourists like 'Sunny Afternoon' and please bring Preservation back for the masses?

I can see it as a political commentary on contemporary Britain with David Cameron as 'Mr Flash' and Jeremy Corbyn as 'Mr Black'.
