This is just for those who may not have had the fortune of hearing Love, Forever Changes or seeing enigmatic frontman Arthur Lee perform live.
There's so much to say about them, but just for now, turn it up loud, listen out for the sublime guitar solos and instrumentals and make what you will of the lyrics.
It's all about the guitar solo.
You Set the Scene, the 11th and final track has my favourite lyric: "Everything I've seen needs rearranging."
It encapsulates Lee's genius - multiple songs wrapped into one, makes full use of the orchestral capacity, is distinctly 60s in places and the words are darkly optimistic.
There are so many more that need a mention but for anyone who doesn't already know about Love, there's plenty to discover on your own.
