{"title":"Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter catching the Byrds live, Arthur Lee set out to marry their jangling folk sound to his own R\u0026amp;B. Signed as Elektra's first rock act, his Los Angeles band ranged from Burt Bacharach and Hal David's 'My Little Red Book' to '7 and 7 Is', a frantic blast whose drumming pointed towards punk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForever Changes\u003c\/em\u003e (1967) went softer and more avant-garde, wrapping psychedelia in orchestral colour. Recorded in just 64 hours as tension grew with fellow songwriter Bryan MacLean, whose 'Alone Again Or' was its sole single, it charted far higher in Britain than at home, yet now ranks among the decade's greatest albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1968 the frontman alone remained, carrying on in a bluesier vein with new players. He later served six years in prison for firearms offences and died in 2006; original guitarist Johnny Echols has since toured the songs as Love Revisited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fungilator-recommended-artists\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#C4293D;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eIf you like Love you should check out:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/doors-vinyl\"\u003eThe Doors\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/buffalo-springfield-vinyl\"\u003eBuffalo Springfield\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/13th-floor-elevators-vinyl\"\u003e13th Floor Elevators\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/velvet-underground-vinyl\"\u003eThe Velvet Underground\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tim-buckley-vinyl\"\u003eTim Buckley\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/big-star-vinyl\"\u003eBig Star\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/beach-boys-vinyl\"\u003eThe Beach Boys\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nick-drake-vinyl\"\u003eNick Drake\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/simon-garfunkel-vinyl\"\u003eSimon \u0026amp; Garfunkel\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kinks-vinyl\"\u003eThe Kinks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"love-forever-change-180g-mono-vinyl-lp","title":"LOVE 'Forever Changes' 180g Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"goldmine-year\"\u003eYear of release: 1967\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"goldmine-blurb\"\u003eArthur Lee wrote these songs convinced he was about to die, and David Angel's lush string and horn arrangements frame his eerie, poetic visions of Los Angeles.
