 BRYAN MacLEAN, ARTHUR LEE, KEN FORSSI, JOHN ECHOLS, MICHAEL STUART

One of the best West Coast folk/psych bands and producers of the seminal Forever Changes, 

a symphonic explosion of lush textures and surreal lyrics

"FOREVER CHANGES"

[Those who are familiar with this pressing will know how hard it is to find a copy that plays 

without excessive surface noise. Even with top copies, the delicate intro to 

“Alone again, or” is always marred by some crackling and/or ticks. 

This is not necessarily because the vinyl is of poor quality, but because 

the recording itself had to be mastered very softly]

Produced by Arthur Lee with Bruce Botnick

Love's Forever Changes made only a minor dent on the charts when 

it was first released in 1967, but years later it became recognized as one 

of the finest and most haunting albums to come out of the Summer of Love, 

which doubtless has as much to do with the disc's themes and tone 

as the music, beautiful as it is. Sharp electric guitars dominated most 

of Love's first two albums, and they make occasional appearances 

here on tunes like "A House Is Not a Motel" and "Live and Let Live," 

but most of Forever Changes is built around interwoven acoustic guitar 

textures and subtle orchestrations, with strings and horns both 

reinforcing and punctuating the melodies. The punky edge of 

Love's early work gave way to a more gentle, contemplative, 

and organic sound. Forever Changes is inarguably Love's masterpiece 

and an album of enduring beauty, but it's also one of the few major works 

of its era that saw the dark clouds looming on the cultural horizon, 

and the result was music that was as prescient as it was compelling ...(AllMusic)
