LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The Love Exchange may have called Los Angeles home, but they had San Francisco blood tripping through their veins. The focal point of the band, 16-year-old Bonnie Blunt—her clarion voice a heavenly hybrid of Grace Slick and Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane—burns bright as the sun while Walt Flannery's hypnotic ballroom keyboards and the spellbinding guitar tandem of Dan Altchuler and Fred Barnett swirl around her like the perfect soundtrack for a Griffith Park Love-In. To their sole 1968 album we've added six previously unissued bonus tracks, rare photos, and the full scoop on the history of the Love Exchange.
