so how often do people on this board listen to this album anyway?
I haven't listened to it for MONTHS, which feels very long, except I've been listening to said album for over 20 years (!)
I don't think I could ever tire of it, personally.

very cool if Echols does an album to follow up Changes (or continue it - Gethesemene seems to have come out of the original group thinking the album would be a double album; thus Forever Changes is actually unfinished..
with Top of the Pops footage of the early Pink Floyd turning up, I think its time for Gethsemene!
Ya, I prefer the "edited" version on the Studio/Live CD.
No drum solo!
The book (if like the others) will cover the Elektra years and any important
highs and lows....see the Chapters descriptions.

Einarson's new book is called Forever Changes, so I think you will get your share of FC talk there to satisfy you, Joe !

You'd think he was BRAINDAMAGED not talking about the album, or bringing it up, or not mentioning it in the discography!
What new book, Joe?

I have the feeling though that you might get the opportunity to know a bit about it from this new book. I can't see why there wouldn't be a look at it. Maybe not to the extent you want but something in any case. |

Hah!
I would like to see someone write an in depth story about the post Elektra years. I find that whole era fascinating. Especially since people act as if it didn't happen. |

I always listen from start to finish. A friend is the same about it.
He says-"From the start ONLY,if someone should make the mistake
of placing side 2 on the TT first!"

The album transports me back to 1967 where me and friends gathered and tripped out and discussed the lyrics. To me , "Forever Changes" is a time machine. WE knew it was special in 1967. It was OUR album of choice. In OUR home-town! It was also loved in England, and other countries, too . It was a very underground radio hit, yet to be discovered by the less adventurist psychrockers. The Seeds, Turtles, Byrds, Leaves, Doors, were all getting air-play on KRLA, KHJ, KFWB, along with LOVE's earlier stuff here in L.A. But when Forever Changes came out, it flipped us out, and I guess the radio format world, too. I was loving the Beatles and Buffalo Springfield and the Kinks , and when Forever Changes came.....yikes! there was a whole new vibe!
and lyrics were important again to me, as far as skratching my head!
me and my friends were staying up all night in 1967 listening to "You set the scene"(ok....yes there were better things to do, but I confess!), and discussing it.
The album is special to me , and still is magical, moving, and GOOD.
...what the world needs now... |

I at least listen to one song off the album a day. I listen to the whole thing from time to time, usually when going to bed. |

I listen mostly to Love Story, just for variety. Lately its been Willow Willow, I'll Pray For you and Always See your Face.
Always nice. |

Same as you. rocker....so-so at first listen, but it kept me
coming back.
It goes as deep in me as any album ever has...and still does....on
so many levels. and there is still something new each time,
because each day there is something new in my life. it is
THE soundtrack, rocker.
And of course, it's the music, Joe.
