RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE STRONG VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
From a retrospective point of view, this might be the first album in the career of singer and songwriter
Arthur Lee that might have been received with more enthusiasm had it been released under his name,
and not under the band name. Obviously, it must have been in his commercial best interests to retain
the Love identity, but here Lee is the only member of the original band left.
He is trying to recreate a Love-able identity with fewer players than he had before and a completely different sound.
The tracks are deep in feeling and performed with an emotional fervor that sometimes approaches anguish.
It is like going into a dark coffeehouse late at night and finding an electrically charged performer
delivering messages about things familiar to one and all: love, memories, friendship,
"Good Times," and even "Nothing." Lee's lyrics and performances have been compared to Jimi Hendrix,
certainly a compliment. This album is such a good example of these strengths that it rises above
the garage band sound to communicate a sense of time and place as well as some truly sincere feelings...(AllMusic)
