"Due to the relative obscurity of this band, in spite of its melodicism and inventiveness, few have noted the huge influence they had later on with prince's career. Maybe not the Purple One's earliest albums, but starting around the "1999" era.
This album is the perfect mixture of folk-rock, a bit of r&b, and even some hints of Hendrix.
From a musicianship point of view, Love had no peers in pop at the time. Listen to how the bass and drums groove, even on the more folkish tunes! Totally in the pocket!
I have the earlier CD issue, but plan to pick this one up for the Mono mixes, as I have found most 60's bands sound better in mono (early stereo was atrocious, for the most part)."
