I show the vinyl and go over each is the Kinks 7th album, and one of the best examples of Ray Davies genius story-telling technique. Its also a concept album, based on the theme of emigrating from the UK. Each song tells a story, and the character of Arthur is based on Davies brother in law. The details of the story are explained in the accompanying booklet, but like the great concept album that it is, you dont really need the background info to appreciate the songs. Ray Davies tackles several themes relating to Britishness and class, with bitter attacks on the privileged. Check out Yes Sir, No Sir: Permission to
