''Preservation: Act 1'' is a 1973 concept album by the English rock group The Kinks. It is the eleventh studio album by The Kinks. ''Preservation'' was not well received by critics and sold poorly (peaking on the ''Billboard'' 200 at #177), though the live performances of the material were much better received. 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. However, more recent reviews of ''Preservation: Act 1'' have been more sympathetic to its ambitions. In particular, AllMusics Stephen Thomas Erlewine has declared "Sweet Lady Genevieve" to be the "real candidate for Davies' forgotten masterpiece".〔 The 1991 CD reissue on Rhino was a 2-CD set combining ''Preservation: Act 1'' with its 1974 follow-up ''Preservation: Act 2'', but with no bonus tracks other than an extended mix of "Money & Corruption / I Am Your Man", featuring an extra instrumental break. The 1998 CD reissue of ''Preservation: Act 1'' on Velvel includes the single versions of "Preservation" and "One of the Survivors", neither of which are available on the original vinyl release. The latter briefly charted on the ''Billboard'' Pop Singles chart peaking at #108. ==Cultural references== The chorus from side 2's "Money and Corruption" was used by the hackers group "Anonymous" when attacking governmental websites during the 2014 World Cup.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preservation Act 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
