- Arthur_(Or_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_British_Empire) abstract "Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) is the seventh studio album by English rock band The Kinks, released in October 1969. Kinks frontman Ray Davies constructed the concept album as the soundtrack to a Granada Television play and developed the storyline with novelist Julian Mitchell; however, the television programme was cancelled and never produced. The rough plot revolved around Arthur Morgan, a carpet-layer, who was based on Ray Davies' brother-in-law Arthur Anning. A mono version was released in the UK, but not in the US. It is now available on the 2011 deluxe-edition re-issue.Arthur was met with almost unanimous acclaim upon release. It received generous coverage in the US rock press, with articles running in underground magazines such as Fusion and The Village Voice. It garnered back-to-back reviews by Mike Daly and Greil Marcus in Rolling Stone magazine's lead section; Daly rated it as "the Kinks' finest hour", and Marcus went so far as to call it "the best British album of 1969". Reviews in the UK were also positive. Although it received a mixed review in New Musical Express, Disc & Music Echo praised the album's musical integrity, and Melody Maker called it "Ray Davies' finest hour ... beautifully British to the core".The album, although not very successful commercially, was a return to the charts in the US for The Kinks. Their critically well-received previous effort, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, failed to chart in any country upon its release in 1968, with total US sales estimated at under 25,000 copies. The Kinks returned to the Billboard charts in 1969 after a two-year absence, with the lead single from the record, "Victoria", peaking at number 62. The album itself reached number 50 on the Record World charts, and number 105 on Billboard, their highest position since 1965. It failed to chart in Britain. Arthur paved the way for the massive success of their 1970 comeback album Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One and its accompanying US Top 10 and UK Top 5 hit "Lola".".

A white coffee mug with the word "Arthur" and a picture of two men sits in the foreground; a sepia-tone profile photo of The Kinks sits behind it; a swan and other small, various objects sit behind the photo. A hand raises a flag from behind the pileup, which reads "The Kinks". These objects sit on a green background, with the exception of the top border, which is covered by storm clouds.".

- Arthur_(Or_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_British_Empire) description ""Arthur", the last track on the album. The lyrics sum up the entire plot line of the album, retelling the story of Arthur Morgan. It is also notable that Dave Davies takes over lead vocal duties on the first verse: "Arthur was born just a plain simple man/In a plain simple working class position/Though the world was hard and its ways were set/He was young and he had so much ambition."".
- Arthur_(Or_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_British_Empire) description ""Victoria", the most successful single released from the record. The lyrics discuss an old, specifically Victorian, Britain. Matt Golden in Stylus commented that Victoria' [is] the strongest song on the album and one of the five best songs of the Kinks' career. A tribute to the 'Golden Age of the British Empire.".
