About
Simply put, <i>Forever Changes</i> sounds like nothing that came before it. It captures the beauty and laidback vibe of ‘60s SoCal—and the dark shadows lurking at its edges—with loping and swaying rhythms, tasteful orchestration, and sublime, trippy lyrics. “A House Is Not a Motel” pulses with undeniable urgency and a guitar solo that comes straight from the gut. “Andmoreagain” is pastoral by comparison. And the cathartic orchestral build of “You Set the Scene” enhances a multi-part tune that’s both progressive and heartfelt.

First pressings info: It is hard to find a copy that plays without excessive surface noise. This is not necessarily because the vinyl is of poor quality, but because the recording itself had to be mastered very softly (due to its length, dynamic range and stereo separation.)
Elektra had this title pressed in 1967 by three different plants: Allentown (AL), Columbia, Terre Haute (CTH) and Monarch (MON). Each plant was sent a different master lacquer to cut from (rather than a copy of the mastertape which was more common in those days), thus ensuring that all pressings had similar high sound quality.
