Originally released in 1969, Arthur was recorded at the height of the sixties cultural revolution, but rather than embrace this upheaval by writing celebratory songs of sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll, Davies chose to focus on Arthur and the disappointment and self-doubt of an older generation imbued with an acute sense of time gone by, wasted lives and getting old. Not exactly something to make the kids want to get up and dance.
