Description
Both adventurous and appealingly innocent, the Love Exchanges eponymous 1968 album stands as a perfect example of Aquarian-age sunshine pop. Boasting a swirling, jangly sound and a distinctive lead singer in 16-year-old Bonnie Blunt, the Los Angeles quintet burned briefly but brightly. They remained together long enough to make this album, which remains a favorite of 60s aficionados.
Led by the buoyant, infectious psych-folk-pop single Swallow the Sun, The Love Exchange perfectly captures the open-minded, open-hearted spirit of its era. Such tunes as Flying High, Meadow Memory, Saturday Night Flight 505 and a take on Allen Toussaints classic Get Out of My Life Woman are distinguished by the bands male/female vocal blend, by Walt Flannerys now-sound organ work and by the interplay of guitarists Dan Altchuler and Fred Barnett. Its music that plays like the perfect soundtrack for a Griffith Park Love-In.
Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, mastered from the original analogue tapes and featuring complete original cover art, this Sundazed edition is limited to only 1000 copies!
