The whole album is now up to listen too!

What are your guys opinion about the album? Mike Love has some really great songs on this album and some not as great songs but none the less a great listen!

Will Mike ever release this album offically? That would be awesome if he did! ;D



EDIT:
If any one is also interested here are the full album versions of First Love and Country Love.

10,000 Years Ago is a badass little song. I've never heard the original  version, but if it was half as good as this, it should have been released.

Edit

I see the original version was listed as a link in the description. That is a tight as f*** groove.

Still can't get my head around the 'cover design' on this one is the one I put together for my own version if it, shared it with a friend, and then... POW... The damn thing is everywhere. Wish I'd spent more time on it...

I'd like to beat OSD to the punch and state that this album blows. I'd like to hear the original 70s version of Glow, Cresent Glow though.

You can find the original version of glow Crestent Glow in the discription of the song or you can find it by looking at the link i posted of the full album of First Love

Thanks. Is it me or does it sound like Mike's voice has been mastered too slow?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo... not Country Love !!!

And... that's a horrible quality tape of First Love. I've heard far, far better. Dammit, my copy from 1983 was way better. Maybe something better will see the light of day next year.

I need another listen, but I quite liked Country Love.  Both albums should be released good or bad.

I'm waiting for the day (I only have the horrible version in my archives (external hard drive))

Although it's arguably a Christian solo item, I've always had a soft spot for "Too Cruel" - pick of, imo

Is that last sentence a hint? Or one of those hints that just reads like a hint?

I still like "Everyone's In Love With You".  What a great song.  instrumentation is horrible, though.  A casio keyboard would sound better than that.  Lyrically, Vocally though it's fantastic.  I suppose the guitar is nice too.

10,000 years ago is pretty good.  It sounds like a Hall & Oates song.  In a good way.

Glow Crescent Glow is pretty chill too... I've always liked Mike's relaxed vibe.  Lyrically it's pretty good too, he gets a bunch of sh*t for his lyrics, and rightfully so, but this is Lyrically good

Too Cruel is great.  Drums are pretty much god awful, though.  Everything else is very nice. 

I don't Wanna Know is good as well, it once again sounds like a Hall & Oates song, though.  I like it.  Christian sounds much better than Mike's version.

Cool Head, Warm  Heart I've liked since I heard it on the Hallmark CD.  Not sure if this is the exact same recording, sounds faster.

All in all it's hit and miss as you would expect but it's got a few decent tunes on it.  I wish Mike had spent more time recording, if you took a handful of these it would make a good start to a strong album.

Maybe it's creeping fogeyism, but these sound better to me than I remember.  Still not a fan.  Not really a fan of any of the group's solo stuff for some reason.

On the topic of First Love, how much of the album was remixed in the 80s for a potential release? Somewhere in my archives I have some alternate mixes of (I think) five of the album's tunes with noticeably different mixes and some additional instruments.

Oh, I thought this thread was announcing a legitimate streaming version put out there by MELECO...  I see now that this is just a fan's posting of the bootleg album to YouTube.  It will be interesting to see if it gets shut down for copyright violation -- but for that to happen someone would have to care enough about it to report it.

on this album no one can really complain about Mikes whiny voice. He doesnt sound whiny througout the whole album!

Lee, I think (have a suspicion) Mr Love might know this stuff has been put up and is maybe waiting to see the reaction with a legitimate release to follow in 2016.  It would coincide nicely with the book coming out!  :)

Is this the later mix?

Why the hell this didn't  find its way on to a BB album and Sumahama did is beyond me.

Ah, just read it's the outtake version...

First Love is a pretty good record. It's about on par with the stuff the band was doing at the same time and probably some of Michael's better post-1973 vocals. Country Love, however, is diabolical; I can only stomach one song on there.

Wasn't "Glow Crescent Glow" part of the Bedroom Tapes?

Tustfull rumor is that Mike will be releasing this album sometime this year.

The songs that his son sings are pretty good.

I feel like most of the other songs are a commercial for Transcendental Meditation.

I'm not sure why is says Brian Is Back is from 2007.  This is the exact version I had on a boot around 2003.
