Love... RIP Arthur Lee

Today brought the sad news of the passing of Love's Arthur Lee. He died in hospital in Memphis, yesterday (Thursday, 3rd August) due to his ongoing battle with Leukemia. This truly is sad, as I'm sure you all know Arthur Lee was a driving force behind one the greatest psychedelic albums ever to be recorded, Forever Changes.

I have decided to post 3 Love albums because of this sad news, they are Da Capo (1967), Forever Changes (1967) and Four Sail (1969). It should be noted that the line-up is completely different on Four Sail, except for Arthur Lee, of course. He disbanded the original line-up of Love after Forever Changes, because he felt the other members were not good enough (!!!).

I know this summer has been a big loss for psych. It's a real shame to lose two greats in such a short time. I just hope that this isn't how it's going to be for good now.

Arthur was very gifted. The sound that Love had is totally unique, at least on the Forever Changes album. The flamenco horns, and they did more acoustic songs instead of all the electric guitars and organs most bands were doing at the time. RIP Arthur. And RIP Syd. Truly groundbreakers.

peace

Arthur Lee and Syd Barrett were just as important to me as Jimi. It was a great loss. I'm really glad to see these 3 uploaded, but could you by any chance post their debut? That would be the best post I've seen in a while.
