I am pleased that you see fit to praise the theatrical phase of the Kinks career. I believe that it will slowly draw greater appreciation, retrospectively, in a similar manner to the Village Green Preservation Society album and in the way of work from a significant number of globally recognised artists.

A slight correction is needed. Arthur … was commissioned by Granada TV (part of the commercial ITV group) and not the BBC. The BBC did their fare share of Kinks bans or lyric manipulations but they didn’t actually pull our of that venture.

It was at the said Granada Studios that Soap Opera was recorded in 1974 and later broadcast. I managed to attend that recording.
