"Reel to Real" is the seventh album by the American rock band Love, released in 1975.

tory

The first Love album in four years and the final Love album for nearly twenty years, "Reel to Real" has only one direct link to any of the previous albums by the group, bandleader Arthur Lee.

A one-off for Robert Stigwood's RSO Records, "Reel to Real" is essentially one of the lost classic albums, recorded with the same players that had played on his second, the unreleased "Black Beauty". Unlike the psychedelic phase or the harder-rocking phase of Love, "Reel to Real" is soul music.
