Love Song Box Set - The Book Of Love

A week and a half ago I was able to pick up the Love Song box set - The Book Of Love. The art work for the box set is by the same artist that painted the cover for the first Love Song album. His name is Kernie Erickson. Along with the Love Song album he did many other covers over the years (including Maranatha! 2 and Marantha! 5).

The cover for the box set is a painting just like the original album was. This is a hand painted piece of art, not a computer generated picture.
The content of the box set consists of the three Love Song albums, a cd of early Love Song recordings, a concert dvd and an eighty page booklet.
Each one of the cds contains all of the original recordings but they have all been digitally remastered.
The sound is much better and the integrity of the recordings have been maintained.
"Feel The Love," the live album from the 1976 reunion tour, was rereleased in the 90's but many sections were deleted (including John Mehler's drum solo). With this re-release everything is included.
"The Early Years" are demos from 1970 and 1971. This is the time period prior to the first album and prior to Bob Wall joining the band. These recordings are from the days when Fred Fields was part of the group.
The dvd is from a 1973 concert in San Antonio Tx. Along with the concert is a video of an ocean baptism from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and an excellent slideshow with pictures of the band.

This is one of the nicer box sets that I have seen in Christian music. If you are looking for it, it is available from the Word For Today and, of course, from the band while they are on the road.
