Talk:Village Green (song)

Folk
I believe "folk" or "folk rock" should be added: The melody is pure folk, arguably in a rock format. But definitely not a pure "rock song". 86.142.177.11 (talk) 20:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Not the sole song with orchestral instruments vs Mellotron
"This track makes use of orchestral instrumentation, unlike the other tracks from The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, on which the mellotron was used instead." Animal_Farm_(song) also contains real strings, so I modified that sentence to read "most other tracks." "This is likely because the track was recorded a year before the rest of the album was worked on." Hmm. What is the source of this conclusion? The song was indeed recorded a year before the others, but other Kinks songs recorded around the time of "Animal Farm" featured real strings as well: "Lincoln County", released as a Dave Davies solo track, comes especially to mind, as does "Polly," released in 1968, with a slightly vague recording date. I have removed this sentence for now. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Track was produced by Shel Talmy
The track was produced by Shel Talmy, and was credited as such on the original EP release. I can't be bothered to find attribution for this right now, though I would think the EP credit should be enough. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
