Love Story
Love wastheLos Angeles psychedelic band of the '60s. Indeed, rivals theDoorswanted to be Love, and theRolling Stonesstole more than a few ideas from their trippier moments. Led by Arthur Lee and (during their finest years) ex-Byrdsroadie Bryan MacLean, Love ran the musical gamut from proto-punk ("7 and 7 Is") to lushly orchestrated pop ("Alone Again Or") and released one of rock's true masterpieces, 1967'sForever Changes. This two-CD collection brings together many of the band's best moments, beginning with their 1966 hit "My Little Red Book" and moving on toForever Changesin its entirety and some of the band's surprisingly effective later material.--Percy Keegan
