Love - Revelation

'Revelation' is a 19 minute psychedelic blues jam that hogs the whole of one side of the album 'Da Capo'.

Be that as it may, this tune has a rolling charm of its own, punctuated by the agitated yelps of Arthur Lee, rousing harmonica parts and a low end that perseveres like a used car salesman on performance enhancing drugs.
