Re-Release 2012 - NEW !!! sealed 180 Gram Vinyl - Analog Master by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman -
Their Masterpiece!!!
Arthur Lee formed influenced by the BYRDS the group GRASSROOTS (1964) , he had
to change the name because another band had already the rights to the name, so LOVE
was born in 1965.
The first 3 LPs recorded for Elektra, all three are great examples for US Folk-Psych
especially "FOREVER CHANGES" is one of the best 60s albums and is cult till today.
"Signed D.C." from the 1st LP and "7 and 7 is" on the 2nd LP are outstanding often covered songs.
After their masterpiece Arthur formed a new LOVE formation, which cut the next 3 album releases
for Blue Thumb, one the LP "Four Sail" was given out of contractual reason to Elektra..
With this new lineup he tended more to Heavyrock & Blues, also a new more heavy version from
"Signed D.C." was recorded for the "Out Here" double LP.
Later recordings till his death in 2006 are mainly done as ARTHUR LEE & LOVE or Solo.
