http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_b ... une-7.htmlLost Arthur Lee and Love album 'Black Beauty' to be released June 7 A previously unreleased 1973 album by influential Los Angeles psychedelic soul band Arthur Lee and Love will surface belatedly on June 7 as the initial release from a new boutique reissue label, High Moon Records. Lee had planned to put “Black Beauty” out on his Buffalo Records label, but the company folded before it came out and the tracks were shelved. High Moon will release the 10 tracks originally planned to be on the album along with bonus tracks, new liner notes and previously unpublished photos from the period. Rolling Stone writer David Fricke wrote in a guide to the band’s bootleg recordings, “’Black Beauty’ might have been received as a strong comeback for Lee, a turn to steamy R&B with heavy-guitar punch – if it had come out.” “Black Beauty” was planned as a follow-up to Lee’s 1972 solo album “Vindicator” and featured the first all-black lineup for the previously integrated group, which first hit the charts in 1966 with the singles “7 And 7 Is” and “My Little Red Book” and created the psychedelic era classic “Forever Changes” album in 1968. New York-based High Moon plans to specialize in rare or previously unreleased material, and in a statement with the announcement of the first release, label president George Baer Wallace said of “Black Beauty”: “It is that rarest of rock artifacts: a never-before-released, full-length studio album, from an undisputed musical genius.”

On June 7, High Moon Records–the new boutique reissue label–will launch with ‘Black Beauty,’ the never-before-released masterpiece by Arthur Lee’s legendary psychedelic rock band Love. Set for release on CD, vinyl, and digitally, ‘Black Beauty’ contains all ten original songs recorded in 1973 as well as rare bonus tracks, beautiful packaging with detailed liner notes by Ben Edmonds and never-before-seen photographs. The album was re-mastered by GRAMMY-winner Dan Hersch (Ramones, Alice Cooper). Love is widely considered one of the most influential bands of the psychedelic era, and ‘Black Beauty’ has long represented the Holy Grail for Love enthusiasts. Shelved shortly after its completion when Lee’s then-label Buffalo Records folded, ‘Black Beauty’ was previously available only as a low quality bootleg. David Fricke wrote about the album in his guide to Arthur Lee and Love bootlegs for Rolling Stone: “Black Beauty might have been received as a strong comeback for Lee, a turn to steamy R with heavy-guitar punch — if it had come out.”
‘Black Beauty’ is the missing link in a catalog that also includes ‘Forever Changes,’ the classic 1967 Love album the New York Times called “one of the most affecting and beguiling albums of all time.” It features Lee’s first all-black lineup and marked his return to the studio after his 1972 solo debut ‘Vindicator’ for A Records.
Arthur Lee – Rhythm Guitar, Vocals Melvan Whittington – Lead Guitar Robert Rozelle – Bass Joe Blocker – Drums, Percussion
Co-founded by George Wallace (President), J.D. Martignon (Vice President) with Craig Hyman (General Manager/Consultant), High Moon Records is New York City-based reissue label, specializing in unearthing exceptional, rare, previously-unreleased, and out-of-print material on CD, vinyl, digital, DVD, and books — from the ’60s, ’70s and beyond. The catalogue will comprise essential releases, ranging from lesser-known gems, to cult legends, to acknowledged music visionaries.
“We are honored to be launching our label with a record as singular/special as ‘Black Beauty’,” says Wallace. “It is that rarest of Rock artifacts: a never-before-released, full-length studio album, from an undisputed musical genius. With ‘Black Beauty,’ Arthur Lee manages to combine searing ’70′s rock with gorgeous melodies and stellar songwriting – all topped off by one of the most astounding vocal performances I’ve ever heard in any genre of music.”

I almost forgot about this. It has been delayed to an undetermined date, but it is coming....... Quote: http://highmoonrecords.tumblr.com/7/14/11 Yesterday, we had lacquers cut at The Mastering Lab to begin production for the vinyl release of Love’s Black Beauty. Vinyl has thankfully been making a steady comeback, but with so few pressing plants that have survived the CD era, production times grow longer, as the demand grows. They are, however, entirely worth the wait! I also added the tracktist above (from the High Moon Records site)

There's still no information on when this is actually coming out, but at least Amazon now has a page for it.

Note from 12/9/11...... Quote: http://highmoonrecords.com/content/letter-fansHigh Moon Records would like to thank all the journalists and editors for the great reviews the albums have received thus far, and sincerely appreciate their patience. We would also like to extend our utmost gratitude to the estates of Arthur Lee and Gene Clark and all the fans who have reached out to us (with emails ranging from gratitude and support to skepticism!), as we've worked to give these timeless albums by two of the foremost Rock Singer-Songwriters the ultimate releases they deserve. We assure you, it will be worth the wait. We are currently finalizing the artwork for both releases on LP & CD. Both albums were remastered by multi-Grammy award nominee Dan Hersch. The lacquers were mastered and cut by vinyl pioneer Doug Sax. The essay for 'Black Beauty' was written by Ben Edmonds (Editor-Cream, Rolling Stone, Mojo), who interviewed upwards of forty of Arthur Lee's closest colleagues and friends about this never-examined period of his career. High Moon Records has licensed more that fifty never-before-seen pictures of Arthur Lee and the band during 'Black Beauty' sessions by Herbert Worthington (Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix). The essay for 'Two Sides To Every Story' was written by Gene Clark biographer, John Einarson. The label unearthed the never-seen, original 4" color transparencies of the 'Two Sides' photo session by Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame photographer Ed Caraeef. For the packaging we used the best possible resources: hardbound eco-books for the CDs, TrueSound audiophile-quality CD's, 180-gram LP's with old-school, tip-on jackets and 11"x 11" magazine-style, glossy inserts with full- color pictures. One of our primary goals from the start was to release these albums in a manner that would have made Gene Clark & Arthur Lee proud. We hope we have succeeded. High Moon Records

Update from High Moon's website: http://www.highmoonrecords.com/content/ ... oduction-1Going into Production !! 08/28/12 » Going into Production! 1 of 3 next › Author: Birdie Author_town: LA We've been busy. Can you tell? Well, it's true. Gene Clark's Two Sides To Every Story and Love's Black Beauty are all set to start production, tomorrow, after we make a final approval on our tip on, old school custom fit jackets. We had to work on them a bit to get them dead right as Black Beauty comes with a 28 page booklet and Two Sides To Every Story, has a 16 page booklet. All full of never-before-seen photo's and essays by the fantastic Ben Edmunds (Love) and John Einarson (Gene Clark). We'd rather apologize for keeping you waiting, than apologize for a jacket that bowed from all the goodies inside, or with silly typo's or.... It's been a long road, and as High Moon Records first outing - it's been a very ambitious adventure. Why not just jump in the deep end? Much has been learned, created, setup, and prepared. The future should be a piece of cake. Thank you for hanging in there, we'll be back soon with pre-ordering information for the 180g LP's. They are coming off-the-line first, followed a little later on by the CD's. Please sign up to our mailing list. The upcoming newsletter will contain pre-order and product info. In the meanwhile, we are busy working with our crew behind-the-scenes on the shops, radio promotion, advertising, distribution and more. If you own a record store or have a favorite one near you - Let us know! at shop@highmoonrecords.com

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price sucks, but there's no way I'm not buying this.
Hard to believe after all these years that this and the Small Faces box set are reality by the end of this month. There's no more current long time postponed releases to bitch about!! .........oh wait, the Zappa Roxy stuff.

Here's something you don't see every day............... Quote: http://www.highmoonrecords.com/content/ ... productionPolar Vortex Delays CD Production!We apologize for the delay! The deep winter freeze known as the Polar Vortex has wreaked havoc on CD production. Our CDs are being pressed in Indiana and the artic blast has shut down the plant and made roads treacherous, delaying the pressing of CDs and the shipping of materials. The manufacturers assure us that the plants are back up and the CDs will be shipped next week to our warehouse. We will let our loyal customers know when we have them in hand. Stay tuned!
