FOREVER CHANGES marked a creative breakthrough for Love in 1967, radically expanding the Los Angeles quintet’s musical vocabulary, from the sophisticated arrangements of “Alone Again Or” to the adventurous instrumentation of “The Red Telephone.” Produced by Bruce Botnick and Arthur Lee, the album captured Love at their most ambitious, with David Angel’s inventive string and horn arrangements adding new dimensions to “Andmoreagain” and “You Set The Scene.”

FOREVER CHANGES was the swan song for Love’s definitive lineup of Arthur Lee, Bryan McLean, Johnny Echols, Ken Forssi, and Michael Stuart-Ware. While the album earned positive reviews when it was released, its sales were modest at the time. As Mike Stax explains in the new liner notes, “It was only with the passage of time that its magic came to be appreciated and the album recognized for what it is: a masterpiece… Forever Changes continues to find new generations of listeners. What was once a time capsule is now a monument for the ages.” 

ABOUT REEL-TO-REEL
Once the gold standard for serious listeners, reel-to-reel delivers studio-quality sound — bringing the master tape experience into your home.

Each Reel-to-Reel title is duplicated in real time from a 1:1 copy of the original flat analog master tape, faithfully reflecting the source. The result is a master-quality listening experience that captures the full dynamics of the recording without the surface noise or groove wear of vinyl. Produced to the IEC standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on 10.5-inch metal reels, these releases are designed for exceptional longevity when stored in a cool, clean place away from magnetic fields. 

These 15 i.p.s. half-track 1/4" reel-to-reel tapes are produced to the IEC equalization standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on 10.5" metal reels. These releases are designed for exceptional longevity when stored in a cool, clean place away from magnetic fields.

Originating in Germany in 1928, the reel-to-reel recording process produces pristine sound. It has been favored by audiophiles and musicians since its commercial debut in the late 1940s, with pioneers like Jack Mullin and Ampex introducing this format to singer Bing Crosby. The magnetic tape format gave musicians the ability to re-record, erase, and edit their recordings—features that had not been available before.

Reel-to-Reel builds on Rhino High Fidelity’s dedication to premium sound, pairing essential albums with the unrivaled warmth of reel-to-reel. Celebrating the enduring appeal of analog sound, the series offers collectors a format that preserves music exactly as it was meant to be heard.
