This is an atempt to gather as much information as possible about Arthur Lee and the members of Love through the years.

I know this is not complete and therefore I would request that anyone with any additional information please send it to me.

I'm working on a comprehensive, and complete list of all of Love's tours - past, present and future -- and need a lot of dates, so please take a look and see if you can help me with some. I also need any and all information about setlists if you have any. I have many questions regarding recordings and other things so it would be great if you could contact me if you see any mistakes or have any additions that will make this a better website.

These pages couldn't have been made without help from a lot of Love fans all over the world. Thanks to all of you.
See copyrights.

If you intend to use any of the scans, photos, posters or anything else from my site, please contact me.
Keeping the music of Love alive by making new sites is very welcome, but the least you can do if you "borrow" something from my site is to contact me. Something here might even be copyrighted.

Statement From High Moon Records to Press & Fans re Release of Album "Black Beauty"

High Moon Records would like to thank all the journalists and editors for the great reviews the albums have received thus far, and sincerely appreciate their patience. We would also like to extend our utmost gratitude to the estates of Arthur Lee and Gene Clark and all the fans who have reached out to us (with emails ranging from gratitude and support to skepticism!), as we've worked to give these timeless albums by two of the foremost Rock Singer-Songwriters the ultimate releases they deserve. We assure you, it will be worth the wait.
We are currently finalizing the artwork for both releases on LP & CD.
Both albums were remastered by multi-Grammy award nominee Dan Hersch. The lacquers were mastered and cut by vinyl pioneer Doug Sax.
The essay for 'Black Beauty' was written by Ben Edmonds (Editor-Cream, Rolling Stone, Mojo), who interviewed upwards of forty of Arthur Lee's closest colleagues and friends about this never-examined period of his career.
High Moon Records has licensed more that fifty never-before-seen pictures of Arthur Lee and the band during 'Black Beauty' sessions by Herbert Worthington (Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix).
The essay for 'Two Sides To Every Story' was written by Gene Clark biographer, John Einarson.
The label unearthed the never-seen, original 4" color transparencies of the 'Two Sides' photo session by Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame photographer Ed Caraeef.
For the packaging we used the best possible resources: hardbound eco-books for the CDs, TrueSound audiophile-quality CD's, 180-gram LP's with old-school, tip-on jackets and 11"x 11" magazine-style, glossy inserts with full- color pictures.
One of our primary goals from the start was to release these albums in a manner that would have made Gene Clark & Arthur Lee proud. We hope we have succeeded.

November 7. 2011:

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last 6 – 7 months.
I’ve been through a bit of a hard time – too much to do during quite along period at my job lead to stress (wikipedia)
The reaction from my side was many, but one was that I never got ‘round to do things that I quite easily could do before, they were all put aside to do later, answering emails, making phonecalls, helping in the garden, shopping and so on. All daily things was sudenly becoming too much.
The presure at the job was taking care of from the management, but getting back to “normal” has taken more time then I thought it would, but now things are almost back to what they used to be and I’ll start updating the pages again.
Thanks for beeing the Love people you are!
