I always thought the "song-by-song retort to 'Exile on Main Street' " was PR bushwah. Hell, I don't even like the album that much. Great title, though.
On the other hand, "Village Green Preservation Society" is my favorite Kinks album, and I LOVE the Kinks. God save them! Appreciate your positive take.
(Would love to find out what you guys think of "The Who Sell Out," which maintains its radio station conceit for about a side and a third on the LP and then Townshend gives up. Side 1 may be the best side the Who ever did, though.)
If you want to hear another great Sinatra concept album, listen to Watertown. The concept is so well executed it may as well be a short film. Wonderful music, too.
“No Children” has taken on a life of its own in dozens of online fandoms - I’ve seen countless edits, fan art, etc. with the lyrics “you are going down with me / hand in unlovable hand” - but today is the first I’m learning it’s part of a concept album…super neat!

One of the most unexpected albums in the Sinatra catalog. “I Would Be in Love (Anyway)” is criminally underrated
