The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society

To explicate with an audio sample what cannot be conveyed with prose alone:

• According to author Andy Miller, due to the song's recording in a larger studio space than the rest of the album, it displays a noticeably larger sound. (Miller, Andy (2003). The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. 33⅓ series. New York City: Bloomsbury Academic. ISBN 978-0-8264-1498-4. Page 77.)
• According to author Johnny Rogan, the Nicky Hopkins' harpsichord contribution "imbues the track with a stately grace". (Rogan, Johnny (1998). The Complete Guide to the Music of the Kinks. London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-7119-6314-6. Page 64.)

Audio file is irreplaceable. No free alternative exists. Prose alone would not serve the same encyclopedic purpose as prose with an accompanying audio sample.
