*300 copies limited edition* Sunset Love were recruited in 1968 to record at Westex Studios in Odessa, Texas. Westex was the brainchild of Tommy Allsup (original member of Buddy Holly’s Crickets) and Gorman Maxwell (it was the same studio where Zager and Evans recorded their smash hit ‘In The Year 2525.’) Allsup asked producer Buzz Cason (also a former member of The Crickets) to come from Nashville to work with Sunset Love. The resulting recording sessions yielded a total of sixteen songs, of which twelve were originals. Sunset Love singer and songwriter, Victor Kay Lindsey, says: “we thought we were going to be superstars; we had big plans, we were sure an album was going to be put out.”
Unfortunately, soon after the sessions, Allsup dissolved his partnership with Maxwell, sold out his half on the studio, and moved to Nashville. Sunset Love hung around waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever did. As Lindsey recalled, "We should have taken our tapes to Los Angeles like Zager and Evans and found a producer, but we didn’t and we broke up in the summer of 1969”. For the first time ever on LP, the full story of Sunset Love can now be revealed via their original 1968 mono mixes — and a bit of band history. Believe us when we say that Sunset Love are a revelation. This is a must-have pop/psych release!
