ABOUT THE ALBUM
http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/ARTHUR-LEE-LOVE-to-Release-Coming-Through-To-You-The-Live-Recordings-1970-2004-20151012
The revered music of the late ARTHUR LEE and his band LOVE will be celebrated with a comprehensive box set of live performances and an all-star celebration at Los Angeles' Whisky A Go-Go on Tuesday, November 17. COMING THROUGH TO YOU: THE LIVE RECORDINGS (1970-2004) (RockBeat Records) covers four decades of LOVE music in the '70s, '90s and 00's, plus one CD of quality fan recordings. The collection also includes five recently-discovered live tracks that have never before been released.
The Tuesday, November 17 performance at Los Angeles' Whisky A Go-Go will celebrate Lee's music with a box set release party and celebration of Arthur Lee and Love music. Performing live will be "LOVErevisited" (Arthur's last touring band Baby Lemonade) featuring Johnny Echols--band co-founder and original lead guitarist--will perform LOVE music.
Rolling Stone editor David Fricke says in the box set's liner notes that "Lee was already a dynamic mass of contradictions when he founded Love in 1965: born to white and black parents in Memphis; steeped in classic soul and blues as a teenager; then charged by the electric modernism of the British Invasion, especially the Rolling Stones, and L.A.'s overnight response, the Byrds. Lee literally formed Love - rock's first major, integrated band - in his image and that of the times." The box set is a collection of rare live recordings from 1970-2004 released by RockBeat Records and produced by David Skye, with the blessing and participation of Diane Lee. For the first time, a large collection of Arthur Lee & Love live recordings are being made available to the public. The discs feature performances recorded at various venues worldwide, throughout the 1970's to 2004.
The cover artwork designed by illustrator William Stout, internationally renowned as one of the first rock "n" roll bootleg cover artists. William has also designed legitimate album covers for The Who, The Beach Boys, The Ramones, The Firesign Theater and The Smithereens.
The enigmatic rock band known as LOVE were revered by the Los Angeles rock crowd when they formed in 1965. Influenced by the folk rock movement of the time, ARTHUR LEE was reluctant to tour heavily, but their performances on the Sunset Strip caught the attention of Elektra Records' Jac Holzman, who made the group his first rock signing. The Doors, who also signed to Holzman's label, opened for LOVE at the Whisky and became fast friends. In the 16-page booklet, The Doors' Robby Krieger writes, "What a sound!," He also writes seeing LOVE for the first time "made me think twice about strictly playing flamenco and acoustic guitar. A couple of years later Arthur would come to the London Fog and watch us play. He was definitely an influence on Jim [Morrison] and all of us, and also helped us get the Whisky gig."
Although a reluctant rock star, ARTHUR LEE eventually embraced the scene and was a prolific writer and multi-talented musician. He recorded with a wide array of artists, including Steve Winwood and several projects with Jimi Hendrix. He served five years in prison for a weapons offense, but came back strong in the '80s and '90s, before succumbing to leukemia in 2006. A 2005 benefit concert held to raise funds for his care featured many LOVE fans including Robert Plant, Ryan Adams, Nils Lofgren, Ian Hunter and more.

Forever Changes
Prior to forming Love, Arthur Lee was a Los Angeles hustler, desperately searching for the formula that would make him a star. In the early mid-'60s, Lee recorded some unsuccessful singles including one as the American Four on Selma, a subsidiary of Del-Fi, "Luci Baines"/"Soul Food." He also recorded a session for Rosa Lee Brooks that featured Jimi Hendrix as a session guitarist. Lee found his niche at last when he founded one of the '60s seminal garage/folk/psychedelic bands, Love, in 1965. The band, which also featured fellow songwriter and singer Bryan MacLean, recorded three amazing albums for Elektra including Forever Changes, an album that is certainly a contender for best rock album ever made.
Vindicator
In 1968, Lee decided to scrap the idea of Love as a real band, kicked out all the remaining members, and began recording with pickup bands and sessionmen. The band's and Lee's fortunes quickly declined, and Lee, never the most normal person in the best of times, began exhibiting erratic behavior as his drug intake began to take its toll. He recorded more unsuccessful albums as Love, recorded a solo album, Vindicator, in 1972, and began to fade away. Lee would regularly tour and recordings were made of these shows, but he rarely returned to a studio or wrote new songs. In 1994, Lee recorded a new single "Midnight Sun"/"Girl on Fire," although the B-side was actually salvaged from an unreleased album Lee recorded with Jimi Hendrix years before.
Love Story 1966-1972
Soon after this, Lee's problems with the law took over his life. In 1995, he broke into an ex-girlfriend's apartment and tried to set it aflame. He was bailed out by Rhino Records, which had just released the Love Story 1966-1972 compilation. In 1996, he was arrested for shooting a gun into the air during an argument with a neighbor and was convicted on an illegal possession of a firearm charge. Thanks to California's strict and sometimes unfair three strikes and you're out law, Lee (who had been convicted of a drug offense sometime in the '80s) was sentenced to eight to 12 years in prison. In 2000, Rhino reissued an expanded version of Love's Forever Changes that served as a reminder of just what a huge talent Arthur Lee was in his prime.
On December 12, 2001, Lee was released from prison, having served six years of his original sentence. Happily for Lee and his fans, a federal appeals court in California reversed the charge of negligent discharge of a firearm as they found the prosecutor at Lee's trial was guilty of misconduct. After Lee was freed, he toured with a new incarnation of Love in 2002, playing all of Forever Changes. Over the next few years he continued to perform, receiving such accolades as a Living Legend Award at the 2004 NME Awards. In early 2006, Lee was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite aggressive treatment, including three bouts of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant using stem cells from an umbilical cord -- which made him the first adult patient in Tennessee to receive this treatment -- his condition worsened, and Lee passed away on August 3, 2006, at Memphis, TN's Methodist University Hospital with his wife at his side.
