Title: Interesting graphic on MikeLove.com—possible “Looking Back With Love” reissue?
Post by: “Big Daddy” on June 14, 2016, 05:52:13 PM
I was on Mike Love’s website earlier and saw this interesting graphic advertising the MikeLove.com shop:

When you click on that banner, however, you don’t see any of the merchandise that was pictured on the previous page. It begs many questions: What is Looking Back With Love doing there? Is it going to be reissued and sold on MikeLove.com? Who is going to buy a Mike Love graphic T-shirt? Etc. Anyways, thought this was worth bringing up here for some reason. Mike Love’s website looks very nice; anyone know when it was updated?

This page is dated June ! so I guess it was then.

Yeah, just shirts (yuk!) and book packages on the store page.

I don't know if a "LBWL" vinyl reissue is in the offing. My interpretation of the picture is that it's a "Mike Love" store and that album one of very few music releases that have the name "Mike Love" on it, as well as his picture. It's basically a stock photo for "Mike Love Music."

This was discussed briefly a couple weeks back on the Mike & Bruce tour thread. The label on the LP seems to read "Soundsortium"--never heard of it, but maybe a small record label?

I think whoever designed the graphic just googled “vinyl mockup” and used whatever they found (https://d13yacurqjgara.cloudfront.net/users/12084/screenshots/1867046/vinyl_mockup_soundsortium.jpg).

They should sell a Mike Love bike glove.

Good catch!

When I click on the 'shop' I can't see this stuff.  Doesn't matter, I'm not planning to buy anything.  But does it mean these items aren't actually for sale at present/any more?  (EDIT - uhh, never mind, I'm pointing out something already said in the original post).

Can't recall seeing the 'Love' in his logo written that way before, but maybe I'm misremembering.  Either way, I like it!
