My first Love album was a compilation on Esel records called Love Revisited. I loved the way that compilation flowed (no pun intended) and have yet to find a compilation to replace it on CD as all more recent compilations cover too much of Forever Changes, which I already have. The other individual albums are patchy so a good comp is the way to go IMO (apart from FC of course).
So weird, so great.
Still listening ... I think this may be the best single "artistic statement" of the '60s California psyche scene. The Doors and the Airplane all released great songs, but never a wall-to-wall great album -- well, maybe After Bathing at Baxter's, but that's not as easy to listen to as this one is.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Even Baxter's, which is the Airplane's most adventurous album imo and I love it, has "Spare Chaynge" ( JA's indulgence to match Love's "Revelation" on Da Capo or the Beatles "#9,#9,#9" ad nauseum).

Baxter's may be JA's most experimental (read, "indulgent") album, but Crown of Creation is their "wall-to-wall" 60s "artistic statement"....

...but Volunteers is my fav. So many classic tracks on that album, though they moved away from psychedelia and towards country on that album.
