'preservation: act 1' and 'preservation: act 2' are 1973 concept albums (originally a single rock opera, but the idea was scratched), released as separate albums in 1973 and 1974 by the kinks. many hardcore kinks fans were alienated by ray davies' melodramatic songwriting during the preservation project era, resulting in albums that played more like the soundtracks to a piece of musical theatre than rock albums. more recent reviews of 'preservation: act 1' have been more sympathetic to its ambitions. in particular, all music's stephen thomas erlewine has declared 'sweet lady genevieve' to be the "real candidate for davies' forgotten masterpiece". the cd reissue of 'preservation: act 1' includes the single versions of 'preservation' and 'one of the survivors', neither of which are available on the original vinyl release.
