“Love Is A Lie”- Out of 400, this is the only colored vinyl I received. It is white (of course). This song is a ballad right from the beginning. A piano and vocal accompany each other, and then the bass kicks in for slight effect. There are wisps of guitar throughout, but it is not until the second refrain that it rocks in a minuscule way. I am sure some babies developed, with jean jackets underneath (for comfort) to this song. It fades out as it tries to rock out. Again though, 10th grade poetry is here. “Love is only a lie” repeated does not make a strong case, just a meager statement.
“Somebody To Love”- Eeew. This song starts with a greensleeves introduction and then The Great Society cover. I know the song is more famous under Jefferson Airplane, but The Great Society had the original version. Written by her brother-in-law, Darby, Grace took the song to Jefferson and made the flashier version with them. The history of this song is superior to the cover.
