- CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE
WEEK
- Love "Da Capo" 1967 (USA)
- Since
Arthur Lee passed away this week, we shall honor him by making Love the
first group to have two albums inducted into the CAOTW. "Forever
Changes" (CAOTW for Apr 26, 2006) came out later in
1967 and is the group's best-known record, but the best moments on "Da
Capo" are just as good, and furthermore this is the album that
contained their only bona-fide hit single, the apocalyptic "Seven And
Seven Is." The second side of the LP is a 19-minute blues jam
called "Revelations" (working title: "John Lee Hooker"), which is often
cited as the only thing keeping this album from "true classic" status.
