"Out Here" by Love (1969)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Love "Out Here"  1969 (USA)
Valentine's Day is a day of Love - the band that is! Arthur Lee basically fired the rest of the band (those that hadn't already quit or gone to jail) after their third album, the acclaimed baroque pop masterpiece Forever Changes. Love recorded one more album to complete their contract with Elektra records, a more electric and rocking album called Four Sail (as in "love for sale" get it?) Elektra promptly dropped the band after that record flopped, and they immediately released our COATW, a double LP on the peculiar hippie label Blue Thumb. Apparently this album merely consisted of everything else they had recorded with the new lineup while at Elektra. It is certainly not a very focused album, containing scraps of short throw-away tunes, and another song extended to 12 minutes courtesy of a boring 8-minute drum solo (the group's main brain even credits himself as "Arthurly" for added flakiness). But the highlights of this record are excellent examples of Lee's unique songwriting style and the psychedelic rock sounds of the time; in particular lead guitarist Jay Donnellan rips it up like Hendrix if he never got past the garage band stage.
