Errors- Have Some Faith in Magic
Love- Four Sail (and speaking of under-rated; if Love had only made this one album it'd be regarded as a masterpiece. But due to the misfortune of following up one of the universally acknowledged Greatest Albums of All Time, history will always judge it a failure...)
The Errors record is indeed excellent - they're a band who've played at a couple of festivals I've been to but I've always missed them, because of a basic kneejerk assumption (caused by their name) that they'd be generic "Later with Jools Holland" indie-schmindie crud. Happy to be proven wrong.
As for "Four Sail" - even if the first three Love albums had been released, and that "FS" had been billed as Arthur Lee's first solo album, it'd still be much more highly regarded than it is now. 'Tis a gonzoid riff-fest of the highest order, and still has the old Love's melodic eerieness in spades to boot.
