Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love.

Part 3 covers Love’s self-titled debut Elektra LP: the background story, the making of the record, and a song-by-song overview. Snotty garage punk arguably never came with so much built-in replay value.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

• The first man to jump ship from Love, and the spectacular success he surprisingly wound up achieving;
• Why Don Conka needed replacing, and the psychological dynamic set in place with Snoopy Pfisterer’s arrival in the band;
• The band’s Elektra contract, which set a new standard for legal sloppiness;
• The heated songwriting rivalry set in place between Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean;
• How Love’s version of “My Little Red Book” wound up veering off from Burt Bacharach’s intended chord sequence;
• And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Love.
