"Dreamy folk psychedelia! Rare 2 LPs on 1 CD." 2002 grey-area reissue of the 2 albums released by Arthur Lee Harper: Dreams And Images from 1968 and Love Is The Revolution from 1969. The first one was originally issued on Lee Hazelwood's LHI label, with just an artist name of "Arthur" (he's not connected to Arthur Lee of Love in any way, so don't even think about getting confused). Hazelwood contributed liner notes to the first album, referring to Arthur's baroque, ultra-soft pop as "a tear looking for a thirsty eye"! Pretty cool, if in an extremely wilted-way -- don't breath too heavy while listening to this, the clouds might all fall down. This CD includes his complete early recordings; in 2003 the RD label issued an LP-only collection of later recordings.

Title:	Memories
Label:	RD (SWITZERLAND)
Format:	LP
Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	RD 011LP

2003 release of some previously unreleased recordings. Songs are from the late 60s, but recorded later (date unknown). Needless to say, not the guy from Love! "In the summer of 2001 I was lucky to find Arthur Lee. He was very kind and sent me a first CD with songs he had recorded during the time of his two albums Dreams And Images and Love Is The Revolution. Late December of the same year he sent me the second CD with more songs of that time period. In mid-January 2002 I got a note from his youngest son that Arthur Lee had died the night after his wife was killed in a car accident. What you hear on this record is his legacy, authorized by his children. Pressed on heavy audiophile vinyl, ultra heavy old style cardboard sleeve and an insert with pictures and info about Arthur Lee." -- Raymond Dumont/RD.
