This is a fantastic follow-up to LOVE's even more fantastic "Forever Changes' album from 1967. By the time this album was recorded, the band's line-up had changed so drastically so as to become unrecognizable; the only familiar face by now was that of Arthur Lee, the "great leader", WHOSE GUITAR WORK ON THIS ALBUM IS EXQUISITE!!! Still, the music was not only inspired and played with gusto, it is in many ways a great leap forward compared to the classic predecessor. This album has a harder, sharper edge, but the sense of melody and ornamentation is intact. Nobody - and I mean nobody - could arrange and perform a psych anthem like Arthur Lee. If you love LOVE's first three classic albums (LOVE - DA CAPO - FOREVER CHANGES), this album is a required - indeed, a demanded listening.

(b)            The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)             The record is apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.
