In the broader world protests against UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar were starting to heat up, along with a good deal of social/political unrest in general. Members of the band sometimes interacted with members of UsefulNotes/CharlesManson's family, not violent as of yet but putting up bad signs. However, beginning with the early recording sessions, the band, except Lee, was plagued by internal conflicts and lack of preparation for Lee's intricate arrangements. In order to compel the band to participate, co-producer Bruce Botnick enlisted top session musicians Billy Strange (guitar), Don Randi (piano), Hal Blaine (drums), and Carol Kaye (bass) to work with Lee, completing "Andmoreagain" and "The Daily Planet" in a single three-hour session. It worked; temporarily losing their jobs to outsiders for two songs shocked the rest of the band out of their complacency, and they completed the last nine tracks on their own rather quickly after much rehearsing. On top of everything else, Lee had become convinced that he only had a short time to live (he wound up surviving until 2006).

In the broader world protests against UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar were starting to heat up, along with a good deal of social/political unrest in general. Meanwhile, Love was going through its own turmoil. Members of the band sometimes interacted with members of UsefulNotes/CharlesManson's family, not violent as of yet but putting up bad signs. And frontman Arthur Lee had guided them away from their GarageRock beginnings to a more complex sound featuring innovative arrangements and adventurous lyrics. But Lee wasn't in the best mental state at the time, as his dive into the era's psychedelic drug culture led to an aggravated sense of paranoia. One result was that he was absolutely convinced he only had a short time to live, and viewed the album as a farewell statement (he wound up surviving until 2006).
