Well the LOVE and Arthur Lee works keep on coming. I bought Vindicator second hand when it came out and was so disappointed. It is a rock and blues staple diet almost pub rock band with Arthur playing seemingly straight blues guitar that some have identified as Jimi Hendrix influenced which frankly is insulting to both. The rumour and myth always goes that it was Arthur who introduced Jimi to heroin but there us scant evince for this and yet this disappointing effort does little to convince us otherwise as it is nowhere near as poetic as inspired or lyrical from the first three Love albums. As his first solo effort there are none of the musicians we associate with Forever Changes this is hugely anticlimactic and I sold off the vinyl copy soon after finding it in the sale bins. It is now rare as hens teeth and the versions advertised on Amazon UK seem be Portuguese or Spanish re-pressings and technically it is no longer in print. It certainly seems to no longer be available in the States
If anyone knows otherwise I am prepared to take it down of course . . . . . . . . .
Twilight zone has also seemingly (hopefully) ditched their use of the UK unfriendly zippyshare and this comes down the pike courtesy of krakenfiles and work perfectly well. This is worth reading his won notes and shares the covers and insert
