abstract
  • %22Autumn Almanac%22 is a pop song written by Ray Davies and recorded by the rock group The Kinks in 1967. %22Autumn Almanac%22 has since been noted for being an %22absolute classic%22, %22a finely observed slice of English custom%22, a %22weird character study%22 and for its %22mellow, melodic sound that was to characterize the Kinks' next [musical] phase...%22 Some have placed this and other Davies compositions in the pastoral-Romantic tradition of the poetry of Wordsworth, among others.In his 1995 autobiography X-Ray and in subsequent performances of his VH1 Storytellers effort, Davies described the song as being inspired by a local hunch-backed gardener in his native Muswell Hill neighbourhood of North London.Autumn Almanac was a non-album single in between 1967's Something Else by the Kinks and 1968's The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. Like many recordings of the mid-to-late 1960s, %22Autumn Almanac%22 was released in both mono and stereo versions. The mono version was released as single and appears as a bonus track on the 1998 CD reissue of Something Else by The Kinks as well as most compilations. The stereo version, which is ten seconds longer and features more %22psychedelic%22 audio effects such as a tape loop during the fadeout, appears on the 1972 compilation The Kink Kronikles as well as the deluxe 2-CD reissue of Something Else.
