I've always been obsessed with the end of 'You Set The Scene' with the trumpets fading out. As mentioned by a previous person, Arthur Lee was convinced he was singing for the very last time on 'You Set The Scene'. I just bought the 2012 vinyl re-issue that uses the original mastertapes, well I was in for a huge surprise. CD issues have done a slow fade out on 'You Set The Scene', only the 2012 vinyl doesn't exactly fade out, it runs out! The sound is of the analog tape running out of space (ending abruptly) . Prior mastering of the record might have thought it was an error (hence the fade out), but I think it's part of the concept of running out of time/dying that Lee was playing with here.
