Love Lost

'Love Lost' was recorded in 1971, during a brief, little-known period when Love was signed to Columbia Records. Arthur Lee and the then current Love line-up - bassist Frank Fayad, guitarist Craig Tarwater and drummer Don Poncher - recorded an album's worth of new material for the label. But after the band left the company, the recordings sat unreleased and unheard until now.

The material on 'Love Lost' comprises the unreleased Columbia sessions plus five unreleased acoustic demos from the same period and captures Love in a transitional phase, following the lush garage-psychedelia of the classics 'Da Capo' and 'Forever Changes', and the bluesier direction of the hard-rocking 'False Start' and 'Out Here'.

Many of the songs included on 'Love Lost' would resurface, often in radically different form, on subsequent Love releases, and on Lee's fabled solo album 'Vindicator', but 'Love Lost' also features three songs - "For a Day," "Trippin' & Slippin'" and "C.F.I. Instrumental" that have not previously been released, in any form.
