Recording "Lincoln County" was recorded around the sessions of '' The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society'', and, like his previous two singles, "Death of a Clown" and " Susannah's Still Alive", featured all of the members of the Kinks participating.

Contrary to popular belief, the single was not released and withdrawn, although a handful of promo copies were date stamped with the previous release dates. The delays were partly down to the record label, Pye Records, not wanting competing Kinks product and the Kinks' uncertainty of what their next single would be. As a result, the single was delayed until an appropriate gap in the release schedule became available. "Lincoln County" was eventually release ...
