  1. “Always See Your Face” from Love’s 1969 album Four Sail, a substantial record which gets overlooked because it came two years after Love’s masterpiece’s Forever Changes, with a different sound. #arthurlee #loveband #vinyl #recordcollection #60smusic

  2. LOVE
    The Complete Elektra Albums
    2025 Worldwide 5xLP Box Set

    I was very lucky to be gifted this incredible box set that was part of this year’s Black Friday RSD.

    The owner of my local shop gave it to me in exchange for a VERY small service rendered, a remarkably kind gesture.

    Every record in this box sounds unbelievable, particularly Forever Changes and the self titled, but the real star of the show here is the fifth RARITIES record, which is full of gems. Many of which I’d never heard before, like the unedited version of “Singing Cowboy” and the singles b-sides like “No Fourteen” and “Laughing Stock”.

    It’s gonna take me a while to get through the whole set, but this is a treasure trove of stuff, and seems the DEFINITIVE Love collection.

    I’m not sure I wouldn’t have bought this on my own anyway.
    It’s worth the price of admission and then some.

  4. Love – Love (1966, US)

    As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 1043 on The List, submitted by mark_ohe.

    As I had mentioned in our last couple SpaceAce Sundays, after I had finished indexing The List, I discovered that, of the ~1035 albums we had thus far included, none had been released in 1966. When I tooted “was no one pressing records in 1966?”, some lovely Mastodonians promptly named 16 albums from that year that were worthy of adding to The List. This one, Love’s self-titled debut, is one such album.

    And how! I was hooked by the music from track 1, a grin-inducing cover of Burt Bacharach’s “My Little Red Book” (a cover which fans of the film High Fidelity may recognize[2]). By the second track, I had to read more about the fabulous singer, Arthur Lee. And by the time I got to the amazing “Signed D.C.” in the middle of side 2, I realized I hadn’t been listening to the album loud enough, and had to restart the album. Given the album cover and that font, I did not expect essentially a proto-punk album. Love it! And if you give it a spin, I bet you’ll love Love’s Love too!

    1. The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “I’m not a human, I’m a dove”, “I’m your conscience, I am love”, “All I really need”, and “Is to know that you believe”, following surveys that had “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man”/“I am something that you’ll never understand”/“I’ll never beat you, I never lie”/“And if you’re evil I’ll forgive you by and by cuz”, “You, I would die 4 U, yeah”/”Darling, if you want me to”/”You, I would die 4 U”, “I’m not your lover, I’m not your friend”/“I am something that you’ll never comprehend”/“No need to worry, no need to cry”/“I’m your messiah and you’re the reason why” and “You’re just a sinner, I am told”/“Be your fire when you’re cold”/“Make you happy when you’re sad”/“Make you good when you are bad”. The second option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking an album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “love”. Usually that would mean I pick the second album in the list with the word, but since there’s a LOT of love in The List, I went with the one that had it twice. The weird thing is, when I was writing this spotlight, “When Doves Cry” came on. So, I think Prince approved of my choice. ↩︎
    2. Two other Love tracks appear in the movie, from their 1969 Four Sail album: “Always See Your Face” and “Your Friend and Mine”. ↩︎

  8. LOVE
    Alone Again Or

    Yeah
    Said it's all right
    I won't forget
    All the times I've waited patiently for you
    And you'll do just what you choose to do
    And I will be alone again tonight my dear

    Yeah
    I heard a funny thing
    Somebody said to me
    "You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
    I think that people are the greatest fun"
    And I will be alone again tonight my dear
