Love Lost

Arthur Lee’s seminal work as leader of the ’60s band Love is treasured by discerning rock fans around the world. Lee’s status as one of his era’s preeminent musical cult heroes has grown immensely in recent years, leading to generations of new fans rediscovering the artist’s remarkable catalog. Unfortunately, Lee and the band’s body of available recordings is relatively small, making Sundazed Music’s release of a previously-unheard full-length vintage Arthur Lee and Love album a major musical event. Love Lost was recorded in 1971, during a brief, little-known period during which Love was signed to Columbia Records. Lee and the then-current Love lineup–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–comprised of the unreleased Columbia sessions, plus five unreleased acoustic demos from the same period–captures Love in a transitional phase, charting the next step in Lee’s idiosyncratic musical trajectory, following the lush garage-psychedelia of the classics Da Capo and Forever Changes, and the bluesier direction of the hardrocking 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 the original versions included on Love Lost, boast a playful looseness that’s absent from most of Lee’s later work, as well as a raw, edgy urgency that underlines his credentials as an early progenitor of punk-rock attitude. 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. With a treasure trove of vintage Love music that has never before been heard by fans, Love Lost

Love Lost Reviews

Review by Mr. John L. Ward:

Back in 1972, I can recall the lengthy hiatus that had seemed to follow the release of the last proper Love album. Eventually our music magazines began to report that Arthur Lee was recording as a solo artist for A&M…and in due course this was confirmed in an interview with surviving Doors. I do not recall seeing it reported anywhere at the time that a new look Love had signed with Columbia in early ’71 and had already recorded an unreleased album for the label. With this very welcome new release, we are now able to explore fully this hitherto unknown epoch in Love history. Arthur Lee’s solo acoustic tracks on the album definitely have an eeriness to them…. a welcome change following the heavily amplified all electric sound on ‘False Start’. By the same token, the songs featuring the ensemble playing of Lee, Tarwater, Fayad and Poncher seem to have much more edge and subtlety to them than the versions that were re-recorded for ‘Vindicator’ a year later. It is interesting to note that the version of ‘Everybody’s Gotta Live’ included here had not yet been fully developed….Arthur had yet to pen the lines that begin: “It’s seems like I have seen just about a million sunsets, she said if you’re with me I’ll never go away”. Of the previously unheard songs, the most melodic is probably ‘For a Day’, which is vaguely reminiscent of John Sebastian’s ‘Daydream’. There is also a hidden track tucked away at the very end of the CD….but I’ll leave everyone to discover that one for themselves!

You obviously wouldn’t want to start with ‘Love Lost’ if you were seeking to turn someone on to Love’s music for the first time. As David Angel observed towards the end of ‘Love Story’, some people are destined to do a particular thing at a particular time…..and I think that in all honesty by 1971, Arthur’s star had already burned brilliantly….and had faded. But pitched midway between ‘False Start’ and ‘Vindicator’, this album is, to my ears better than either. And the sound of Frank Fayad’s ever faithful bass – every bit as resonant as it is on ‘Four Sail’ – is strangely moving.

Review by RickyF:

This is great. I was a fan of Love back in the day. So it’s nice to hear some new tunes. The album is reminiscent of a combination of Love and Jimi Hendrix. Highly recommended.

Love’s Labour’s Lost

With Kenneth Branagh (WILD WILD WEST, CELEBRITY), Alicia Silverstone (BLAST FROM THE PAST), and Nathan Lane (AT FIRST SIGHT, MOUSE HUNT) leading a stellar ensemble cast, Stanley Donen and Martin Scorsese present a sexy, glamorous, and fun 1930′s-style musical that’s earned terrific critical acclaim! The King of Navare (Alessandro Nivola — MANSFIELD PARK, FACE/OFF) and his three best friends think that they’ve sworn off love in the pursuit of intellectual enlightenment. But when the Princess of France (Silverstone) and her beautiful attendants arrive for a diplomatic visit, their high-minded plans are turned completely upside down! Then, as war rages and secret passions burn, loyalty and devotion are tested like never before! Also featuring hilarious Matthew Lillard (SHE’S ALL THAT, SCREAM) and the classic songs of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and more — go back in time and allow yourself to be swept away by this wonderfully entertaining motion picture treat!Having taken Shakespeare at his word on Hamlet (i.e., not cutting a single syllable out of a very long play), Kenneth Branagh selects a more radical approach with Love’s Labour’s Lost. Here the prolific director-star weeds out much of the play’s dialogue and adds songs and dances of a decidedly modern bent. The King of Navarre (Alessandro Nivola, Nicolas Cage’s wacko brother in Face/Off) and his three comrades (Branagh, Matthew Lillard, Adrian Lester) take a vow: no womanly distractions while they pursue their studies. Ah, but at that very moment, floating down a magical studio-built river, is the queen of France (Alicia Silverstone), accompanied by three ladies-in-waiting. You do the math. Branagh has set the tale on the eve of the Second World War, which allows for the inclusion of vintage pop songs, including “Cheek to Cheek,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” and a rousing chorus of “There’s No

Love’s Labour’s Lost: Applause First Folio Editions (Applause Shakespeare Library Folio Texts)

If there ever has been a groundbreaking edition that likewise returns the reader to the original Shakespeare text, it will be the Applause Folio Texts. If there has ever been an accessible version of the Folio, it is this edition, set for the first time in modern fonts.The Folio is the source of all other editions. The Folio text forces us to re-examine the assumptions and prejudices which have encumbered over four hundred years of scholarship and performance. Notes refer the reader to subsequent editorial interventions, and offer the reader a multiplicity of interpretations. Notes also advise the reader on variations between Folios and Quartos.The heavy mascara of four centuries of Shakespearean glossing has by now glossed over the original countenance of ShakespeareÕs work. Never has there been a Folio available in modern reading fonts. While other complete Folio editions continue to trade simply on the facsimile appearance of the Elizabethan “look,” none of them is easily and practically utilized in general Shakespeare studies or performances.

Love’s Labour’s Lost: Applause First Folio Editions (Applause Shakespeare Library Folio Texts) Reviews

Review by Craig Matteson:

This merry play is a delight for its language. It has more a situation than a plot. The King has sworn himself and three attendants to three years of fasting, abstinence from women, study, and little sleep. Immediately a princess arrives with her attendants that cause the men to regret their oaths. Letters are written, delivered incorrectly, and a huge final scene with disguises, masks, and a wonderfully strange presentation of some of the nine worthies. All of this provides a structure for a rich play of language that is full of wit and bawdy.

This edition has a lengthy introductory essay that helps understand the issues of the text, the historical context, and performance practice issues. The notes are wonderfully helpful in understanding the text and what choices the editors had to make in presenting it. After the play is an essay just on the text of the play, appendix 2 has additional lines that this edition leaves out of the play, appendix 3 discusses Moth’s name.

The issue around Moth is that in Elizabethan times Moth would likely have been pronounced more like Mott than our soft th. And the word mote and moth were roughly interchangeable. The name of the insect and the word for a small particle meant roughly the same thing. It is a nice issue to be aware of and the essay is helpful.

Appendix 4 lists words that are rhymed in this play – often a revelation to the way words were pronounced 400 years ago. Appendix 5 lists the compound words, many of them minted in this play.

All in all, this edition is a happy experience of a very fun play.

Review by :

this is witty play about four guys who vow to sequester themselves for three years in serious study, but who are forced to forswear their vows when four attractive women show up and upset their plans. the humor is mainly in the form of wordplay, as only shakespeare can do, and the verbal jousting between berowne and his lady is especially entertaining, and anticipates the tete-a-tetes between petruchio and katherina in “taming of a shrew” and benedick and beatrice in “much ado about nothing”. definitely worth a read, and if you can get it, the bbc television production of LLL is also worth seeing. last of all, i disagree with the other poster who complained of the ending. i thought it was pretty clear that the couples would get together in a year’s time. so the ending was implicitly happy. only someone who is accustomed to instant gratification could find fault with it.
