The second and final Love album for
Blue Thumb Records saw bandleader Arthur Lee heavily influenced by his friend,Jimi Hendrix , even going so far as to coax Hendrix into appearing on the opening track of the album, "The Everlasting First", supposedly one of several tracks that Hendrix recorded with Love. No further tracks have surfaced, however, possibly due to copyright restrictions or because the tapes have been lost.Replacing
Jay Donnellan withGary Rowles and adding second rhythm guitaristNooney Rickett after the session with Hendrix brought no great change to the sound of the group. There are shades of blues, funk, country and soul all based in rock and roll.Success would continue to elude the group who disbanded shortly thereafter. Arthur Lee would issue his debut album, "Vindicator", for
A&M Records in 1972."False Start" was issued as part of the May 2007
