'schoolboys in disgrace' is the album that the band recorded while in a 'convalescent' state, slowly returning from ray's unlimited fantasy world into the world of real kinks-style music. this is the kinks' eleventh concept album and third rock opera in a row, this time built around a story of a certain 'naughty schoolboy' who was punished by the headmaster for his conduct, after which he became a hard and cruel person and 'grew up into mr flash'. as usual, the melodies approach classic status. the 'theme' is ray's nostalgia for his schooldays. this allows him, for the first time in almost five years, to drop a tiny bit of genuine autobiographic emotion onto the record; the liner notes hint at the fact that schoolboys' reconciled ray with dave, who was also eager to participate in the process, as the subject of school reminiscences was also close to his heart.
