...more than enough to make the case that in 1966 when this album was recorded -- and released in January of 1967 -- LOVE was the band that all of us L.A. kids wanted to be. Legends in L.A., they were the group that ruled the City of Lost Angels. She Comes In Colors is amazing. A little known piece of trivia is that Revelation features production by Jack Nitsche assisted by Neil Young. Hey, it was L.A., and things like that happened. But don't look for credit, they didn't get any.
Over forty years since its original release, Love's "Da Capo" is still considered by many as one of the greatest albums ever made. Even more remarkable, is how much it differs from their debut album, released just one year prior; and from their third album, "Forever Changes," released later the same year. Tracks meander through various diverse styles, including baroque, flamenco, and jazz... all melded into a distinct rock style like no other. Clearly, this was a band with many very different and intriguing facets, and well ahead of its time. For that reason, Da Capo is even more likely to be appreciated today than it was in 1967.
