Love Chronicles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Love Chronicles was the second album of Scottish folk rock artist Al Stewart, released in 1969 in the UK on the CBS label and the following year on the affiliated US label Epic. Among the supporting musicians were Jimmy Page and several members of Fairport Convention: bassist Ashley Hutchings, guitarist Simon Nicol (listed as "Simon Breckenridge"), and guitarist Richard Thompson (listed as "Mervyn Prestwyck"). Largely written during a deep depression, the songwriting is generally stark and features what is usually credited as the first use of the word "fucking" in popular commercial music. At least one song, "Old Compton Street Blues", was apparently recorded with a heavy cold.
Love Chronicles is commercially available as part of a CD boxed set "To Whom It May Concern", which contains his first three albums as well as a single, its B side and a couple of tracks added to the rerelease of Stewart's first album [[Bed-Sitter Images]] in 1970.
