you've nailed it there...You know how hard I tried to get some of those non lp
singles from that era? There was that "God Save The Kinks" promotion that
Reprise ran. I still have my box with "Village Green Grass", and a puzzle. It's
just that there weren't that many of us buying the records at the time. Once
they made it back over to tour with Arthur things seemed to pick up, despite
some very chaotic gigs.
