are people interested in Love without Arthur?
thoughts anyone?
me, I've seen Love enough times in my life, don't need to see Love again after seeing Forever Changes live. Best show in my life that, at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, tho too many opening bands!! (FOUR!!)
How do other people feel about Love continuing with Echols? Also, do people feel a new Love album would have a chance, especially if David Angel arranges a follow up to Forever Changes (Gethesemene)

Sigh
Absolute tragedy that bloke never wrote anything about Love
Love fans owe him a lot. There was no better publication
than the Castle (well the first massive 13 issues LOL!)
And where else could you learn about the Bryan Maclean band,
or Gethesemene (which does not seem to exist, but who knew?)
Or the New Rose album Arthur cut in the early 90s
You had to buy Four Sail on lp to hear it back then. Or find
it as a Thunderbolt cd!
Hope he happened to move some of the old Castles out of his
home and they're not taking up TOO much room 
Perhaps they're doubling as doorstops... |

Does anyone know if David Housden has an email? or if
he still has any old Castles or scrapbooks in stock?
I'm only coming across Nick Drake scrapbooks on eBay,
and they're costing a small fortune
Really wish he had done the book on Love. I think it
was gonna be called Forever Changing; but then again
that was years ago when he made mention of the fact
he was writing a book on the group; it looks like he
ended up giving it a miss. Probably not much interest
in a book on Love, to be honest. Never mainstream
David Housden has a profile on here, you can try contacting him through that. Otherwise you could always write to his home address, I don't think he's moved. It's here
http://www.thefreedomman.com/love/thecastle.html
It might be a better bet than trying to contact him through here as I don't think he was ever very into the internet. |

Think I bought a few copies of The Castle in that shop, along with far too many books about rock'n'roll.....
Yeah, to the best of my knowledge all the CD version's sold by Michael on the web were signed.
I agree that Denmark Street shop was great, such a pity it's gone, I too bought some good books there. |

I have a signed copy of Michael's book, but that was a personal favor...not a regular thing
Pegasus is going for $75 TO $250 ONLINE...generally at the higher end.
I was lucky and got mine for $60!! It will never be republished, so it is a nice book to have, especially since a book by a Love member is kinda rare!!
ED! Are you back from the states??!! Was it a NICE Birthday present?

I paid about $10 dollar for it, so I'm cool with it. |

I can't imagine anyone paying 150 for a Love
book, even one autographed by Ken Brooks (Love
Story) or
Pegasus Carousel (Michael Stuart) (although
I think only the cd-roms for the book
were signed by Michael)

$150 dollar!!! I mean, it's a nice read, but that is way too much!
I have a signed by the author copy, does this double the prize? |

I actually gave my copy away after I had read it......$150 eh, Caryne? We never seem to know at the time just when we are sitting on a potential goldmine, do we? Oh well...not to worry.  |

Actually the thing I remember most about that book is how badly bound it was, all the pages fell out when I tried to read it. Must have been done very cheaply so hard to imagine anyone paying a lot for it |

KD: Did DH ever "write" anything about LOVE ? Most of the contents
of THE CASTLE is simply the photocopying of various Love reviews
and pieces written by others.
Free the writing !
Well, he wrote the forward to this book,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/189988260X/ref=cm_rdp_product
and I've read other things written by him too.
In recent conversations on here this book seems to have been forgotten. I can't believe Amazon are charging $150 for a copy now
By the way, in the reviews of the above book one of the names looks rather familiar |
