    My copy is an ex Public Library copy, of all things. They carefully split the gate fold into two halves, and it still has Dewey Decimal Tampa Public Library sticker on one half and on the label. Funny to think about going down to your public library and borrowing a Love record... they were categorized as a "performing group" ....still in reasonably good shape for something that circulated in a public library.

      The second and final Love album for Blue Thumb Records saw bandleader Arthur Lee heavily influenced by his friend, Jimi Hendrix, with Hendrix appearing on the opening track, "The Everlasting First", one of several tracks that Hendrix recorded with Love at a March 1970 session.
      "Stand Out", a song from the band's previous album Out Here, was included here in a live rendition.
      Three selections from this LP were added to the Love compilation by Love, entitled "Out There".
      False Start was issued as part of the May 2007 Hip-O Select release The Blue Thumb Recordings.
