LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Arthur Lee marked his departure from Elektra by jettisoning his old band line-up and putting out the only double-album in the Love discography. Out Here is a sprawling, uneven work whose high points rank with anything from their Elektra discography, and whose low points descend to a level dependent upon your tolerance for blues-rock jams circa 1969 (our tolerance is quite high, thank you very much)! Its Love louder than youve ever heard them before, with the characteristic Arthur Lee whimsy intact (who else would come up with a song title like Love Is More Than Words or Better Late Than Never)? Also includes Ill Pray for You; Abalony; a new, heavier version of the classic Signed D.C. from their debut album; Listen to My Song; Im Down; Stand Out; Discharged; Doggone; I Still Wonder; Nice to Be; Car Lights on the Daytime Blues; Run to the Top; Willow Willow; Instra-Mental; You Are Something, and Gather Round."
