For use in article section "Packaging". The image is used for explication of sourced critical commentary on the event depicted, and the image itself. This comes from the series of photos taken by Barrie Wentzell of Melody Maker magazine, on August 15 1968 (See * Hinman, Doug (2004). The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night. Milwaukee, WI: Hal Leonard Corporation. ISBN 087930765X. - p. 118). After tea at Kenwood House, the group set out across Hampstead Heath with Wentzell for a photo shoot. This session is very well known and significant in The Kinks' history, as it has been documented in multiple online and offline sources—Hinman makes note of it in his 2004 book, and Miller writes an entire page on the subject for his 2003 book. This image shows the group in a distinct phase—the departure of bassist Pete Quaife soon after ends the "1960s" phase of The Kinks—as the band exhibits a brief moment of unity. "That was one of those days when everyone got on great," Quaife recalls (See Miller, Andy (2003). The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society. London, UK: Continuum International Publishing Group. ISBN 0826414982.- p. 38). Drummer Mick Avory retains fond memories of the day also, but Ray Davies has pointed out the significance and symbolism of the moment. "When Barry Wentzel [sic] took those last cover shots outside Kenwood House, he was documenting the end of the band." (Miller, p. 38). Such a moment deserves illustration within the article, and it cannot be described by words alone—indeed, the very subject is photographic, and deserves photographic representation as such.
