"LOVE forever changes" Record

Gold Label- Rare Edition

This record is a 1967 Gold Label first edition. It is in stereo. The cover and record have EKS-74013 printed on them. The label is gold.

Probably one of the very few albums that can arouse a total, universal consensus: this is one of the most beautiful - and important - albums of the rock era. Recorded in mid-1967, just as LOVE's original line-up was about to disintegrate, elektra's house producer and engineer, Bruce Botnick (who went on to record and produce virtually every Doors' album) assembled a stellar studio band - which included, among others, Hal Blaine, legendary studio drummer - to support the faltering "Love" members while they were bickering in the studio. The impact of this "parallel" group of musicians was swift and massive: the band somehow perceived them as a competition and a threat, and managed to regain its composure and creativity and to create one of the most enduring minor-key masterpieces ever committed to vinyl. If you have never heard this album, take my word: you are missing a lot. The album aged better than 99% of its contemporaries and attained a genuine cult status. Cited by many rock stars as their source of inspiration (various members of Led Zeppelin and Fairport Convention come to mind), the impact this majestic album still exerts on rock music (and aesthetics) cannot be overestimated. Finally, the cover art for this album is one of the most memorable and recognizable visual presentations in all of contemporary music, and a great artistic accomplishment to boot. So much so that Arthur Lee himself parodied it by including a mimicry of it on his "Forever Changes Reunion Tour" album.
