NEW LOVE
Exclusive! High Moon Records boss George Wallace on a tantalising new collection of unreleased Love songs
G
EORGE WALLACE:
This unprecedented collection of Arthur
Lee/Love recordings were made during the last 15 years of his life – from 1990 until Arthur’s final studio recording, in the summer of 2005. In a Memphis hospital in 2006, after a long battle against leukaemia, Arthur gave his wife, Diane, two CDs he’d compiled and asked her if she would oversee the release of the songs after he was gone.
Arthur Lee Is Love Just To Remind You
is comprised of the songs that Arthur put on the CDs. Sourced from Arthur’s trove of tapes, the music covers his wide-ranging taste and adeptness, from
Forever Changes-style,
haunting strings and brass-adorned productions, to Arthur at the piano, playing Ray Charles-inspired licks and singing with glorious, soulful abandon.
