Review by Georgie Fielden

Black Beauty by Love is a mesmerizing album that showcases the band's unique blend of rock, folk, and psychedelia. The album was recorded in 1973 but remained unreleased until 2012, making it a long-awaited gem for fans of the band and the genre.

The album's title track, "Black Beauty," is a standout with its haunting melody and poetic lyrics. Arthur Lee's vocals are raw and emotional, adding depth to the song's melancholic theme. "Can't Find My Way Home" is another notable track, featuring a beautiful acoustic guitar and Lee's soulful voice.

The album's production is impressive, with a rich and warm sound that brings out the nuances in each instrument. The songs are well-crafted and showcase the band's impressive musicianship.

Summary by Georgie Fielden

Black Beauty is a must-listen for fans of Love and anyone who appreciates classic rock and psychedelic music. The album's timeless sound and poignant lyrics make it a standout in the genre, and it's easy to see why it's considered a lost classic.

Very great band with their unique sound & the compositions of Arthur Lee. Well there out- off- this world. But there very delightful compositions. Cos they all rock. This in fact is a fantastic tune.

So the Black Beauty LP is now available on CD and vinyl, but is this track actually taken from the 1992 Midnight Sun LP?

The one track which does feature Jimi Hendrix by this band is The Everlasting First on their LP False Start, if anybody's looking for it.

Thank you for publishing this. One can only wonder how you were fortunate enough to have access to this. And I definitely can 'hear' Hendrix in this tune-vocally and guitar wise as well. can't wait to hear the other selections you have posted!
