|Article = The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society

|Purpose = To serve as depiction of a unique album sleeve for the work in question.

• Music writers Andy Neill and Peter Doggett write about how the album sleeve has become the rarest available LP by the Kinks. (Neill, Andy (February 2000). "The Great Lost Kinks Album". Record Collector. No. 246. pp. 46–49) (Doggett, Peter (1998). The Village Green Preservation Society (Liner notes). The Kinks. Essential. ESM CD 481.)
• Historian Carey Fleiner writes that the album sleeve's cover artwork, depicting the Kinks standing beside several "elegant horses" was intended to "play up their 'Englishness'". (Fleiner, Carey (2017). The Kinks: A Thoroughly English Phenomenon. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield. ISBN 978-1-4422-3542-7. p. 49)

|Replaceability = Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.

|Minimality = The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

|Commercial = The use of a low resolution image of a work's cover will not impact the commercial viability of the work.
