Many of these bands were Paris-based, with a few notable exceptions hailing from points south or east. Like Lover’s Love, who hailed from Cannes. With their romantic group name, Lover’s Love offered a singularly odd horizontal ride on the B-side of their first single, “After Yours” that took Steppenwolf riffage ala “Rock Me” or “Sookie Sookie” and played it on a mental repeated locked groove for the song’s duration. The topography here is as linear and driving as Kim Fowley’s “Born To Make You Cry” and is trapped in the holding pattern of rigid rhythmic uniformity. There is organ, but it’s held to the rear of the mix at all times as the depth is coordinated by the unswerving rhythm fuzz guitar that hangs above the never-changing tempo. I think the sappy A-side, “Youth Has Gone” was a sizeable hit in France; not least of all because my copy showed obvious signs of sustained umpteen plays while “After Yours” was in near-mint shape
