50 years ago this week, Love‘s epochal Forever Changes LP was released in the UK.
To mark the occasion, Rhino have announced that a special 50th Anniversary Edition of the album will be issued on April 6.
The box set contains four CDs, two DVDs and a vinyl disc, all housed in an illustrated 12” x 12” hardbound book. It includes the CD debut of a remastered version of Forever Changes made by original co-producer and engineer Bruce Botnick, as well as the first-ever release of the mono version on CD. Also included are alternate mixes of the album, as well as a selection of rare and unreleased singles and studio outtakes.
The vinyl disc contains Botnick’s stereo remaster of the original album, while the DVD includes a 24/96 stereo mix. Also featured is “Your Mind And We Belong Together”, a rare Love promotional video directed by Elektra producer Mark Abramson that was originally released in 1968.
