Recorded in informal settings between 1962 and 1966, this presents Young with various configurations, with major Chicago blues talents like Otis Spann, Robert Nighthawk, Little Walter, and Walter Horton lending a hand at different points (Young also plays solo on a couple of numbers). Only three cuts feature drums, so this is usually at the midpoint between Delta blues and the electric Chicago sound; Young usually plays guitar, but also brings out his mandolin for a couple of songs. Warm performances. The CD reissue adds four previously unreleased bonus cuts.

LOVE - LOVE
Elecktra Records 1966
mono @320
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/80254310/file.html
This is about as close to a live set from the original members of Love you'll ever get. The song list is close to a set-list Love would play when they were the house band at the Whiskey during the 1966 youth-quake. Of all of the bands playing the Strip in '66 Love had the largest following. Bands like the Doors, Mothers of Invention and Buffalo Springfield were opening acts when Love played. It was ground zero in the explosion of psychedelia and Love steered the course.
Love was the first rock band signed by Elektra Records, a New York based label primarily know for it's stable of folk artists like Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Oscar Brand, Phil Ochs & Josh White. Elektra label president Jac Holtzman was so thrilled with signing Arthur Lee and Love he went on to sign cutting edge rock bands like the Doors and MC5 to his label.
The production quality sounds like a typical live "one-take/no remixes" rock album of that era.
The self titled Love debut is full of jewels. Many of the Arthur Lee compositions are the equals of the Velvet Underground's for dark, atmospheric tunes. -- Gavin B.(Amazon Reviewer)
My high school friend, Joe, had (because his parents owned a shopping center) what I believed to be access to every record album in the universe. Joe's parents were frequently away tending to business and left him to mind the house. Consequently I had my first taste of gin at Joe's house, my first dabbling in drugs, my first puff of marijuana.
People, don't let your 17 year old children guard your house!
One day he showed me his latest haul of record albums. I remember "Blonde On Blonde" was one of them as well as a Peter, Paul, and Mary album. And there were also several others. He put a record on the turntable and said, "Listen to this. This is the new Peter, Paul, and Mary record." What he actually put on was "You I'll Be Following" by Love. I didn't know this and thinking it was Peter, Paul, and Mary I freaked out. At last a rockin' jangly, Peter, Paul, and Mary! Of course we laughed at my freak out after he told me it was actually Love. The same Love that had a hit with "My Little Red Book." I ran out and bought a copy for myself and it instantly became my favorite record. Nothing that was playing on the Radio sounded like Love. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Byrds sounded nothing like Love.
This record changed my views on Rock & Roll music. Ever since Love I have disdained overproduction in favor of raw energy. I liked the way the instruments bleed into each other. I loved "Softly To Me" written by Bryan MacLean. It reminded me of the show tunes I loved so well and was a harbinger of MacLean songs to come. But most of all I loved Arthur Lee's strained falsetto. His almost but not quite on pitch singing.
Other bands of the era, other garage type bands, may have been one hit wonders. Love never was and never will be. -- JohnnyDiego

Random internet review:
Dave Brubeck's defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. It was a risky move -- Brubeck's record company wasn't keen on releasing such an arty project, and many critics initially roasted him for tampering with jazz's rhythmic foundation. But for once, public taste was more advanced than that of the critics. Buoyed by a hit single in altoist Paul Desmond's ubiquitous “Take Five,” Time Out became an unexpectedly huge success, and still ranks as one of the most popular jazz albums ever. That's a testament to Brubeck and Desmond's abilities as composers, because Time Out is full of challenges both subtle and overt -- it's just that they're not jarring. Brubeck's classic “Blue Rondo à la Turk” blends jazz with classical form and Turkish folk rhythms, while “Take Five,” despite its overexposure, really is a masterpiece; listen to how well Desmond's solo phrasing fits the 5/4 meter, and how much Joe Morello's drum solo bends time without getting lost. The other selections are richly melodic as well, and even when the meters are even, the group sets up shifting polyrhythmic counterpoints that nod to African and Eastern musics. Some have come to disdain Time Out as it's become increasingly synonymous with upscale coffeehouse ambience, but as someone once said of Shakespeare, it's really very good in spite of the people who like it. It doesn't just sound sophisticated -- it really is sophisticated music, which lends itself to cerebral appreciation, yet never stops swinging. Countless other musicians built on its pioneering experiments, yet it's amazingly accessible for all its advanced thinking, a rare feat in any art form. This belongs in even the most rudimentary jazz collection.

Random internet review:
Time Further Out appeared in 1961 and already the title, and the fact that Brubeck did a 'sequel' at all, provides an opening for those who question Dave's jazz bona fides; after all, it's hard to imagine seeing 'Kind of Bluer', or 'Another Love Supreme' in the racks. But the quality of this record, constructed as a blues suite 'inspired' by Joan Miro's paintings, nearly matches its predecessor. The opener, “It's A Raggy Waltz”, is a joy from beginning to end, its relatively conventional 3/4 meter irregularly bunched up by ragtime-like accents. “Bluette”, a Chopin-like waltz with some of Desmond's loveliest playing on record, features some nice arco playing by Wright. “Far More Blue/Far More Drums” is a 5/4 blues followed by a drum solo that shows just how far this group has come in two years; no longer does Brubeck need to hang onto a steady vamp to keep everyone on track in this meter, and Morello's solo, while not as epochal as “Take Five's”, is considerably longer and more assertive. Hand claps, a bass ostinato, Morello's drum-rims, and Brubeck's rollicking piano hoedown add up to “Unsquare Dance”, a cute idea in a decidedly oblong 7/4. “Blue Shadows in the Street” closes the original album with an evocative tune in an interestingly-grouped 9/8.
