Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love.
Part 7 covers Love’s third record, the undisputed masterpiece Forever Changes, which only a fool would argue is not the towering peak of their career: here, then, is the record’s background story, and the making of it. It is often referred to as the greatest album of all time, especially in the U.K., where in 2002 members of Parliament signed a motion declaring Love’s 1967 release "the greatest album of all time".
Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
- How drugs factored into things during that time, and which drugs they were;
- What separated the orchestrations intended for this record from the strings on all other rock records up to this point;
- The misunderstood notions about who is playing what and the band members’ involvement in the process of creating the songs;
- Whether or not Forever Changes was intended at the outset to be a double album;
- Just how things got off on the wrong foot on the first day of sessions;
- The extent of The Wrecking Crew’s involvement in playing on the record;
- Why exactly they turned down Monterey;
- The man responsible for sequencing the album, as well as the one song he cut from the track list;
- And the background story which begat its classic title.
