Andmoreagain: Rhino Marks 50th Anniversary of Love’s “Forever Changes” with Massive Box Set

February 6, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

Released just months after the so-called Summer of Love, Forever Changes was the third studio album by the group simply and boldly called Love.

Love traded in the punchy electric guitar sound of the group’s first two albums (and successful singles like “7 and 7 Is” and a cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “My Little Red Book”) for a denser, more orchestrated style that incorporated strings and…

Salad Days (Are Here Again): Esoteric Plans Multi-Disc, Audio-Visual Procol Harum Anthology

January 17, 2018 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

“You’ll cry out for mercy, but still there’ll be more…” So proclaimed English prog rockers Procol Harum on their fourth album, 1970’s Home.

And the group presses on, having released their 12th album, Novum, in April – a month shy of 50 years since “Pale” first landed in U.K. shops. To celebrate this half-century mark, Cherry Red’s Esoteric imprint will release…
