LOS ANGELES – Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) expands its acclaimed audiophile series today with Love’s Forever Changes on vinyl and reel-to-reel. 

Forever Changes (Rhino High Fidelity) was cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Optimal in Germany. It comes in a glossy gatefold sleeve with newly written liner notes. The album is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally. 

Forever Changes (Rhino High Fidelity R2R) was duplicated in real time from a 1:1 copy of the original flat analog master tape. The result is a master-quality listening experience that captures the recording’s full dynamics. The 15 i.p.s. half-track 1/4” tape is produced to the IEC equalization standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and stored on a 10.5” metal reel. The Reel-to-Reel edition is limited to 350 copies worldwide and available exclusively at Rhino.com.

Forever Changes marked a creative breakthrough for Love in 1967, radically expanding the Los Angeles quintet’s musical vocabulary, from the sophisticated arrangements of “Alone Again Or” to the adventurous instrumentation of “The Red Telephone.” Produced by Bruce Botnick and Arthur Lee, the album captured Love at their most ambitious, with David Angel’s inventive string and horn arrangements adding new dimensions to “Andmoreagain” and “You Set The Scene.”

Forever Changes was the swan song for Love’s definitive lineup of Arthur Lee, Bryan McLean, Johnny Echols, Ken Forssi, and Michael Stuart-Ware. While the album earned positive reviews when it was released, its sales were modest at the time. As Mike Stax explains in the new liner notes, “It was only with the passage of time that its magic came to be appreciated and the album recognized for what it is: a masterpiece… Forever Changes continues to find new generations of listeners. What was once a time capsule is now a monument for the ages.” 

Rhino High Fidelity continues to tap into Warner Music’s vast catalog, introducing reissues of seminal albums across genres—from rock and pop to jazz, soul, and beyond. Each title pairs uncompromising audio with archival-grade packaging, honoring the album’s original intent in both sound and design.
