And Love on Earth shall continue to be – for quite some time, apparently.
The late Arthur Lee’s official site is reporting that a slew of new projects are slated for the next year or so, most intriguingly John Einarson’s bio Forever Changes: Arthur Lee & the Book of Love, which appears to be based on the manuscript for Arthur’s unpublished autobiography.
Also on the docket are the releases of three archival musical projects, with production supervised by Mark Linn. Here’s hoping they involve the classic, mid-’60s McLean/Echols/Forssi line-ups.
More details to be released soon, so keep tabs yourself at Lovearthurlee.com or Torben Skott’s excellent Love fan site.
While we’re on the subject, if you haven’t picked up last year’s Forever Changes Collector’s Edition, do so just for the bonus 1970 remix of the ’67 LP and hear what FC would sound like as a “normal” rock album as opposed to the uniquely weird and more than a little skewed original masterpiece. And with Andrew Sandoval’s liner notes and Steve Hoffman’s superlative mastering as well as the in-studio dialogue revealing just how stoned these guys really were… if you dig Forever Changes, there’s no reason whatsoever not to own this.
Here’s Arthur and the final incarnation of Love at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in 2002:
