Can't believe it didn't even get a mention in 'The Love Story' documentary.
I only watched that documentary a few weeks ago, and it did sort of get a desultory mention. At least they played a few bars from...I think Singing Cowboy and showed the cover, while some critic in love with their own narrative droned on about how Love just didn't have it anymore after Forever Changes. Which is...a bag of shite, isn't it? Four Sail's a melancholic classic, ending with one of the greatest love songs of all time, and featuring some real psychic band interplay for a group s'posedly cobbled together from young jack-the-lads. I liked the documentary, don't get me wrong, but I even got the vibe that those critics convinced Arthur himself that Four Sail, Out Here etc. weren't much cop, which is a thoroughly uncool thing to do, as their peaks move me as much as any other Love songs.
