If you can wait a few months, I'll ask him.

I remember Mike was asked about this on a phone in a few years ago...
He mentioned enjoying working with Curt Boettcher but bemoaned the fact that the record company went bust and couldn`t promote or ship the album or something.
Mike didn`t seem too thrilled to be asked about it though and I would say that generally speaking Mike is only really into talking about the hit songs and TM songs. I doubt he cares about LBWL now...

Never liked it, but would love to hear a clean copy of First Love.

This album has a few decent tracks. It is better than SUMMER IN PARADISE and maybe as good as GETTIN' IN OVER MY HEAD.

Ask him about the story behind "Runnin' Around the World". Hilarity should ensue.

Andrew (G Doe), do you still stand by your extremely positive write-up of LBWL in your 'Complete Guide to...' book?
It was one of the most surprising assessments in the book, at least to me. I'd like to say it led me to hear the album in a different light but, alas, no - I still think it's pants.
(First Love however is fantastic!! Be sure to ask Mike if we can expect an official release any time soon please...)

Even in it's low-fi hiss 'First Love' is fantastic. Great stuff on there and a neat production (P.F again?), very cool I too would like the Lovester to burn me a clean Cdr of it please. |

I find it pretty hilarious when artists are obviously made uncomfortable when asked about some of their not-so-great work when they aren't expecting it. Like I seem to remember a thing where Paul McCartney was being asked about him maybe playing "Pipes of Peace" or something, And the way he responded was like somebody was digging through some of his days old garbage. Like he couldn't believe they even brought that up. It's like when the guys had that Endless Summer TV show where Brian mentions that Mike did "Baby My Baby" on Looking Back With Love. This wasn't even a decade later, but you could tell Mike was super embarrassed by it. And I find that funny. |

Why hasn't Nardwuar interviewed Mike or Brian? I bet he'd piss off Mike and Brian wouldn't know what to do with him, haha.

So I guess it would be safe to say he doesn't like it.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

The real question: is there any amount of money that could be offered to 2014 Mike to get Mike to perform Looking Back With Love (the album) live in its entirety? Kickstarter campaign, anyone? |

That would be one helluva trick - he died over six years ago.  |

I say we start a petition for Nardwuar to interview Mike or Brian.
That is a petition I can stand behind, he is such an entertaining interviewer.

This is the only time in the history of the world that anyone has questioned whether or not Mike Love could be convinced to do something for money. |

This is what's truly needed in the world right now. Indeed. What the world needs now is Love, sweet Love In fact, if I were Mike's manager, I would be pushing for a multi-disc, remastered boxset of the Looking Back With Love Sessions, including every alternate version, cough and spit recorded for the album, in both mono and stereo mixes, plus accompanying LBWL Live tour and fully illustrated LBWL making-of book and feature-length TV documentary. The obvious follow-ups would be similar packages for First Love, Country Love and Mike Love Not War  |
