Do you have this album in your collection? Have you even heard of it?

One of the all time greatest ever albums from the Summer of Love (1967)

Still sounds amazing, happy, dark, paranoid and mariachi to boot! Needs to be played LOUD

Oozes class, remember buying it around 1970. I introduced this album to more people over the years than any other album

A classic. Yet to snag it on vinyl but think I have a freebie CD of it from the Sunday Times a few years back when they somehow managed to get some classic rock albums to give away. Seem to recall The Doors were included ...

This is an album that has been part of my musical consciousness for 48 years. It is truly great - without a single weak track.

There is also a DVD from a 2003 Forever Changes concert that is well worth having for anyone who loves this album. Lee was in fine form on it. Can't get the Amazon Link to work though

Had it on vinyl now have it on CO. In the top 10 of all time for me. Was great to see Arthur performing the album a few years ago in Brighton great shame he's no longer around

I have and I have ensured that the last 3 pubs I've worked in have it.

I was also at that gig, it was a great moment, it wasn't a particularly long time after that he died

Always a good one that! Funny enough despite it being one of my favourite albums, my favourite song is not on it. Softly To Me and it was sung by Bryan McLean and not Arthur Lee

Too 'Mojo' cover story for my tastes. Great music though, but way too critically acclaimed for it's own good.

I saw Arthur Lee live in Newcastle around 2004, interesting and memorable. I guess for those who love the man and his music, magical.

Personally give me a Cressida or a Gravy Train or from the states a Zerfas, Granicus or Josefus and especially a Dryewater any day over the muso roll neckers' safety net of bands akin to Love.

Sorry, just the way I feel.

One of my fav albums of all-time.

I had the huge pleasure of seeing Arthur Lee and Love play live 3 times, plus chatting to him once.

The guy oozes charisma

Downloading it with an open mind to give it a go, fear it might be a 'bit out there' for me.

Give it at least 5 listens, it'll be worth it
