Love was the Los Angeles psychedelic band of the '60s. Indeed, rivals the Doors wanted to be Love, and the Rolling Stones stole more than a few ideas from their trippier moments. Led by Arthur Lee and (during their finest years) ex-Byrds roadie 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's Forever 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 to Forever Changes in its entirety and some of the band's surprisingly effective later material. --Percy Keegan
