The Love Affair
Well, Arthur Lee and Love have been gone, leaving, I suppose, mixed feelings ranging from wild enthusiasm for their performances to just plain disappointment. It must be pretty difficult for some of these American bands, who come over here preceded by inflated reputations and excellent albums, to meet people’s expectations — and, whereas Spirit were as magnificent as their albums, Love didn’t quite bring it off I feel.
The Love Affair
(NOTE: Arthur Lee and Love are apparently even more a legend in Great Britain than they are here; apparently, over there they W managed to transcend their American obscurity (even as has Capt. Beefheart). Anyhow, they did a tour there, around the first of the year, which is something they don’t do here, • and this came out of it.)
