From Spectrum Culture:

The summer of 1967 – the “Summer of Love” – featured one of the largest youth movements in history, when the hippies came in droves to San Francisco to turn each other on, tune into their inner psychic frequencies and drop out of regular society, and countless more who did the same thing across North America. It’s a star in the crown of Boomer memories, a sometimes-literal orgy of delights soundtracked by the likes of the Who, the Animals, the Dead and Jefferson Airplane. The album that saw through to the heart of the micro-era, though, was really none of these staples of classic rock radio. That nod goes to Forever Changes, the third album from L.A. psychedelic pop band Love.
