I have all seventeen versions released including the "Climb on my Rocket" shaped vinyl. I bought 1000 copies of the vinyl when it first came out, threw away the albums and used the covers to wallpaper my bedroom. It gets my wife's motor running!! ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

| I have a huge poster in my room of it. It's actually so huge that it takes up the whole roof. I don't know how many times I've listened to the album, probably 30 times a day. Every other album eer made is just ok. But this is the most beautiful thing in the world! |

^Just finnished collecting enough to fill my 78th box. I keep all in this one room in my house, which is my Love Beach shrine. It's really cool, there's a poster that takes up te whole wall and I still got the mini figures of the band. Boy, I still remember first hearing the album. I was so in aww that I listened to it over and over again for 3 days streight with no food/water/bathroom/sleep breaks. I cried the whole time. What about you on your first listen? |

I remember my first listen to Love Beach. Ay, I was just a wee lad who knew nothing of music. But, once I heard the pure majestic beauty blaring through the speakers when I turned on Love Beach, it was then when I knew what real music was. It's so complex, yet reaches to the deepest emotions. Sadness, anger, happiness, confusion, contemplation, even science is discussed in this conceptual masterpiece. Never before have I heard something so deep and alluring, even Yes's masterpiece 'Big Generator' doesn't take this much out of me. Even the Metallica album 'St. Anger' doesn't move me like Love Beach. Hell, even ELP's other work of genius 'In the Hot Seat' leaves me cold compared to the loving warmth of Love Beach. Every day, Love Beach gets at least 10 listens from me. I listen to it before I go to sleeep, I listen to it before each meal, I listen to it whenever I'm in the car, I listen to it while playing such great video games like 'Big Rigs'. No day do I go without Love Beach, even when I'm with friends I have to play Love Beach. However, thankfully everyone loves Love Beach. What's not to like? Love Beach is simply the greatest, most heartfelt, most complex, and intriguing album ever. You haven't lived if you haven't heard Love Beach.

Everything said in this is completely true. The only album that comes close to it in my opinion in is Gentle Giant's masterpiece "Giant For a Day" or maybe even Frank Zappa's famous "Thing Fish". Big Generator is alright, so is the magnificent Rush album "Test For Echo." But Love Beach is the only album that moved me and it changed my whole life. I was in a rough spot before I first heard it. I was getting my assosiates degree at Harvard University, listening to horrible albums such as Selling England By The Pound and In The Court Of The Crimsob King. Even had a girlfriend who loved Rush. But then something helped me. Not therapy, not medication, but an album. An album that showed three men, showing there attractive looks. By the time I saw it I knew I was saved. And then I listened to it. It moved me. I knew how to live. I dumped my girlfriend and went to live in my mothers basement for the rest of my life. A much better life now. So I thank you, Love Beach, for all you ever did for me.
