Love Forever Changes
Elektra Records Butterfly label
EKS 74013 - K42015 1976 re-issue
K42015 A2/B1
The 1970’s re-issue came with different back cover designs; this one is with a black & white photograph of Arthur Lee
Forever Changes, Love’s third album took a slight artistic detour compared with prior releases, and unfortunately was not a commercial success at the time. Despite this it has since become their crowning glory capturing their rich acoustic sound. Although Arthur Lee wrote the bulk of the material on the album, the opener and most well- known track, “Alone Again Or” was written by Bryan MacLean. MacLean quit the band shortly after the album’s release and, while Lee made several more albums with a new version of the band, by the early 1970s Love was no more.

I have tried to be honest and transparent in my description - the photographs form part of the description. Questions are welcome, don't hesitate to ask. I have good feedback (and positive comments) as both a buyer and seller, so you can buy with confidence. I am a collector of 47+ years the few records I sell are either the results of upgrades, duplicates or in this case a bit of thinning every now and again. If anything is not as expected, please contact me straight away, and I will do everything to resolve any problems without argument.
I strictly adhere to the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide using one + or - for addition guidance:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
