One of the rarest albums (copies are currently valued around $1500) to escape from the British psychedelic era, THE LOVE CYCLE was recorded at a local demo studio in the summer of 1968 by Cambridge pop-psych band Forever Amber.
Only previously available on bootleg, it now receives its first-ever legitimate reissue with the full participation of band members and the songwriting genius behind it, the mysterious John M. Hudson.
With fully restored sound and a 16-page booklet that includes the original artwork, comprehensive liner notes, band quotes and previously unpublished photos, this is the definitive issue of one of the greatest, most elusive albums of the British psychedelic era, akin to a garage band version of the Zombies masterpiece Odessey And Oracle.
