Forever Changes (Vinyl LP) Folk & AmericanaOne of the first pop albums to become a cult classic, Love's 1967 masterpiece, Forever Changes. This is the pinnacle of the LA freak scene. Singer songwriter Arthur Lee's lyrics are increasingly fragmentary and paranoid, foreshadowing the band's eventual drug fuelled collapse. Yet these drop dead hip tunes are set in arrangements featuring Herb Alpert style mariachi horns, lush middle of the road strings, and other tropes of the easy listening scene,
The band describe the EP: "This EP is definitely bigger
included on printed inner sleeves with remastered
" which is not a team effort until the very last note
bringing music back to where it was before it found its way into upscale clubs
a great male cover of Barbara Mason's "Yes I'm Ready" and many more classic songs
but this isn't a folk album: 'Zombie' has the insistent push of 70s LA
