Less than 10% of the original audio. (The file is 15.617 seconds long with a fade out, which is less than 10% of the original 2 minutes and 39 seconds.)
To explicate with an audio sample what cannot be conveyed with prose alone:
According to author Andy Miller, the song's distinct flute intro was achieved by holding down the keys on the Mellotron and allowing each flute tape loop spool all the way through. (Miller, Andy (2003). The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. 33⅓ series. New York City: Bloomsbury Academic. ISBN978-0-8264-1498-4. Page 87.)
According to author Steve Alleman, the song's Mellotron contribution is one of the few times in the Kinks' discography where the band approach psychedelia. (Alleman, Steve (2002). "'The Hard Way' or 'Something Better Beginning' – An Alternate View of The Kinks' Artistic Development". In Kitts, Thomas M. (ed.). Living on a Thin Line: Crossing Aesthetic Borders with The Kinks. Rumford, Rhode Island: Desolation Angel Books. ISBN0-9641005-4-1. p. 47.)
Audio file is irreplaceable. No free alternative exists. Prose alone would not serve the same encyclopedic purpose as prose with an accompanying audio sample.
