Posted - 31/12/2024 : 19:33:43 Question from a fan...anyone know of this?
Here's something I've always wondered. Have seen a couple references over the years from people in the UK that refer, approvingly, to their version of "A House Is Not a Motel" getting cut [off] as the track peaks with Johnny Echols's terrific double-tracked solos (I'm assuming sort of like King Crimson's "One More Red Nightmare" where the tape ran out). I think Mark Hollis said that version of "A House Is Not a Motel" was the inspiration for how he ended "Ascension Day" on Talk Talk's LAUGHING STOCK. Does anyone know this edit or was it a possible cutting error on a '70s UK press of FOREVER CHANGES? I can't find any version, single edit or otherwise, that ends this way.

Posted - 02/01/2025 : 16:26:12 So a number of responses from UK friends about the early 70' s/80's UK vinyl Forever Changes...
The British version of the album that was available in the 80s (when I first heard it) featured a b&w photo of Arthur Lee (wearing a bad wig, so post-Love) on the rear sleeve. I remember reading about the ‘different’ smashed jug band photo years before I actually saw it.
............
That's the one I had. B&W photo and sudden ending. I bought it in 1977. I think it was released earlier in the '70s though - maybe 1973. In my naivety at the time I assumed Forever Changes was a 1973 album. Sold it long ago.
