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 13 covers the first two releases by a brand new Love—Four Sail & Out Here—which features a wild, powerhouse performance style that couldn’t possibly be more different from what had preceded it.

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

• How Arthur found the musicians that would populate the second iteration of Love;
• The massive stylistic differences with which the new Love boldly led;
• The wild drug habits of the new crop of guys;
• Insane stories about Arthur’s dog from that era, which was named Self;
• The very unique recording situation that begat both records;
• The track selection process that was agreed upon by Elektra’s Jac Holzman and Blue Thumb’s Bob Krasnow;
• The details behind the abjectly disastrous one-off reunion of the original Love for one final live performance;
• And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Four Sail & Out Here.
