2023 restock. Guerssen Records present a reissue of
Forever Amber
's
The Love Cycle
, originally released in 1969. A holy grail item for psychedelic pop aficionados, Forever Amber's
The Love Cycle
is, along with
Dark
and the first
Complex
album, one of a triumvirate of must-have private pressings from the UK. Sounding like a blend of
Pet Sounds
(1966) and
Odessey & Oracle
(1968) but with a charming, homemade, lo-fi vibe,
The Love Cycle
was a concept album masterminded by talented songwriter/arranger
John M. Hudson
(a kind of
Brian Wilson
figure), who found in Cambridge band Forever Amber the perfect vehicle for his songwriting ideas.
The Love Cycle
was recorded in the summer of 1968 at a makeshift studio, located in the basement of a music shop. Consisting of a song-suite revolving around the meeting, courtship, and break-up of a young couple, the result was a stunning album filled with heavenly vocal harmonies, electric harpsichord and memorable hooks, including some intense psychedelic moments (the heavy phasing of "The Dreamer Flies Back" and more). Released in 1969 as a private edition of 99 copies,
The Love Cycle
remained buried until its discovery in the late '80s by psychedelic collectors. Bootlegged several times, the first official reissue came in 2007 thanks to
David Wells
/Tenth Planet. Out of print for several years, Guerssen Records a new vinyl reissue of this essential psych album. Original artwork in backflaps sleeve; includes color insert with rare photos and detailed liner notes by David Wells. RIYL:
