Forever Changes Forever Changes (1967) was the third album released by the band Love. Produced by Love's leader Arthur Lee and Bruce Botnick, the album contains performances by both the group (Lee, Bryan Maclean, John Echols, Ken Forssi, and Michael Stuart) and well-known Los Angeles session musicians Carol Kaye, Billy Strange, and Hal Blaine. The album's famous orchestrations were done by David Angel. Recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, California between June and September 1967, the album was released in November 1967 on the Elektra Records label. The cover art was by Bob Pepper. Not a hit upon release - Forever Changes reached only #154 on the Billboard Magazine charts - the album was nonetheless acclaimed in the nascent rock and roll press, and is today considered a masterpiece. Rhino Records reissued the album in 2001 with unreleased tracks and alternate mixes. "When I did that album," commented Arthur Lee, "I thought I was going to die at that particular time, so those were my last words." This is borne out by perhaps the most famous lines from the album, on the song "The Red Telephone": "Sitting on a hillside/ Watching all the people die/ I'll feel much better on the other side." In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Forever Changes the 82nd greatest album of all time. Track listing - "Alone Again Or" (MacLean) - 3:16
