About
Love, Psychedelic rock legends from Los Angeles' late '60s scene.
Classic albums like Forever Changes, with multiple 180g audiophile vinyl editions and dozens of presses.
Love originated as a folk-rock and psychedelic band from Los Angeles, led by Arthur Lee. Their music combined rock'n'roll, garage, folk, and psychedelic elements into a distinct style, culminating in the 1967 album Forever Changes. Despite commercial challenges, this album and others like Da Capo and Four Sail have remained influential for their complex arrangements and evocative lyrics.
The group struggled with internal and external difficulties late in the 1960s, with member departures and drug issues impacting their trajectory. Despite setbacks, they recorded significant works until 1970 and reunited for concerts in the early 2000s, preserving their legacy in psychedelic rock history.
