Title:
Forever Changes (2001 Rhino Records reissue with bonus tracks)
Description:
Rhino Records – R2 76717
Love started recording Forever Changes in June 1967 at Sunset Sound Recorders. However, beginning with the early recording sessions, the band, except Lee, was plagued by internal conflicts and lack of preparation for Lee’s intricate arrangements. Through Jac Holzman’s perspective, Bruce Botnick was an ”album savior”, guiding and motivating Lee’s bandmates out of their trying period. In order to compel the band to participate, Botnick enlisted top session musicians, the Wrecking Crew’s Billy Strange (guitar), Don Randi (piano), Hal Blaine (drums), and Carol Kaye (bass guitar) to work with Lee, completing the sessions. Shocked by the implications of losing their role in the album’s development, Botnick’s plan succeeded in motivating the Love members in recording the other nine tracks appearing on Forever Changes.
Botnick recalls that the use of session musicians ”sparked” the band, and they ”realized they had blown it, got their act together and recorded the rest of the album.” After much rehearsal, the group returned to the studio in August and continued through September, quickly laying down the remaining nine tracks
Lee spent three weeks with David Angel, the arranger of the strings and horns, playing and singing the orchestral parts to him. Lee envisioned the horns and strings from the beginning, and they were not added as an afterthought. A September 25 recording session finished the album, adding the horns and strings, as well as some additional piano from Randi, who played all the keyboard parts on the album as the band now had no keyboard player
. Yeah
