Recorded in June to September, 1967 at Sunset Sound Recorders.



This "three-fer" from Warner Strategic Marketing collects legendary West coast psychedelic folk-rock act Love's 1966 eponymous debut, 1967 follow-up Da Capo, and groundbreaking third record/Baroque pop masterpiece Forever Changes. There's nothing new here that hasn't already been released, and listeners who already have these albums would be better served with Rhino's 2001 and 2008 reissues of Forever Changes, but it's impossible not to recommend all three of these records, in whatever form they arrive.

Love’s psychedelic rock classic “Forever Changes” and an ace live performance by the Grateful Dead are among the new recordings selected for the National Recording Registry.

Adding to the good vibes over at the Library of Congress are Prince’s soundtrack for “Purple Rain” and George Clinton’s album “Mothership Connection” (Parliament).

They are among the 25 entries on the 2011 Registry list, an honor that guarantees preservation and a sort of immortality for the works. This latest Registry list was unveiled May 23, 2012.

1967’s “Forever Changes,” ignored by the public in its day but long since considered a rock masterpiece, was the final album recorded by the original L.A. band Love, fronted by Arthur Lee. The album produced no hit singles, although lead track “Alone Again Or” has been repeatedly covered. The drug-infested Love imploded in the months following the album’s recording.

“Forever Changes” employed a variety of hired-gun musicians, including L.A.’s famed Wrecking Crew. Classical musicians under the direction of David Angel added depth and drama. Love’s primary creative forces, Lee and songwriter Bryan MacLean — the band’s ying and yang — were at their creative peak during the recording; neither produced another important work. The two have since died.

The Grateful Dead’s live recording of its May 8, 1977, concert at Cornell University’s Barton Hall never received an official release, but it is well known to fans due to the quality of performance and recording. At the time, the Dead had just finished recording the studio album “Terrapin Station.”

The Dead performed “Minglewood Blues,” “Loser,” Jerry Garcia’s “Deal” and the popular covers “Mama Tried” and “Dancin’ in the Streets.” (Listen to the show).

The Barton Hall concert never received an official release. Dead archivist David Lemieux says the Dead organization does not have the source tape.

Mickey Hart, one of the Dead’s drummers, lobbied for the creation of the National Recording Registry back in 2000. The Registry just marked its 10th anniversary. World music archivist Hart has ongoing relationships with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian.

Other popular music songs on the new list include “Bo Diddley” and “I’m a Man” by Bo Diddley; “Green Onions” by Booker T. & the M.G.’s; “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang; and Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love.”

Love has not been selected for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Grateful Dead was inducted in 1994 and currently is being celebrated with a major museum exhibit at the Hall.

Selections span the years 1888-1984, beginning with an Edison Talking Doll cylinder.

Forever Changes is the third album by the American rock band Love. It was released by Elektra Records in November 1967 and would be the final album by the original band, as subsequent albums featured leader Arthur Lee backed by a variety of new players. Forever Changes failed to achieve commercial success when it was first released in 1967, but it has since become recognized as one of the finest albums to come out of the Summer of Love, ranking 40th on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008 as well as being added to the National Recording Registry in May 2012.
