ザ・キンクスが68年に発表したコンセプト・アルバムの先見的作品『ヴィレッジ・グリーン・プリザヴェイション・ソサエティ』(写真)。幻のステレオ・ヴァージョンをプラスしたヴァージョン等、以前から何度も再発されている本作ですが、また新たにCD3枚組のデラックス・エディション盤が6月28日にUKにてリリースされることになりました。

　今回新たに加わったボーナス・ディスクには、デモ・ヴァージョン、リミックス・ヴァージョン、BBCセッション等が収録される予定となっており、その詳しい収録予定曲は下記のとおり。いいかげん何度も買わされる身にもなって欲しいものですが、とはいえ、今回もつい手が出てしまう、そんな内容となっているので仕方ないですかね？
