Love broadened their scope into psychedelia on their second album, Arthur Lee's achingly melodic songwriting gifts reaching full flower.
The six songs that comprised the first side of this album when it was first issued are a truly classic body of work, highlighted by the atomic blast of pre-punk rock "Seven & Seven Is" (their only hit single), the manic jazz tempos of "Stephanie Knows Who," and the enchanting "She Comes in Colors," perhaps Lee's best composition (and reportedly the inspiration for the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow").
It's only half the album however, and the second side is given over to the extended blues/rock work-out "Revelation" (original entitled "John Lee Hooker") which is a stunning tour de force of a band at the peak of it's powers
Side 1:
Stephanie Knows Who (2:33)
Orange Skies (2:49)
¡Que Vida! (3:37)
Seven & Seven Is (2:15)
The Castle (3:00)
She Comes In Colors (2:43)
Side 2:
Revelation (18:57)
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - light/moderate spindle traces/hole wear
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces retain their original deep sheen with just a couple of inconsequential light marks
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found nothing to fault the sensational sound performance - beautifully clean - tremendous record - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The original matt US MONO cover (the only one available at the time) is sharp and clean with just light rub to the edges and corners - all spine text is clear and bold
