Better than false start !

"the first post love release by this extraordinarily gifted all around figure is better than the last love album, 1970's false start. a wide range of styles as always: funk, soul, heavy metal, and hard blues in particular. the highlight is the amazing love jumped through my window, featuring some of lee's best vocals ever. otherwise its a quite solid although not spectacular album i.e. no bad tracks but relatively little that is truly memorable. other stellar tracks include everybody's gotta live and you want change for your rerun. this contains some alternate versions and also a rather ordinary remake of hendrix's easy rider. this solo album should certainly please lee's fans, but those expecting another forever changes ( maybe the greatest album ever in my opinion) will of course be disappointed."

A long lost overlooked jewel

"Arthur Lee in this incarnation vies with Hendrix for the transformation of blues into hard/acid rock. A complete about-face from the LOVE genre. Why this has been out of print for so many years is a mystery. Humorous, pithy, and good listening."
