Love Chronicles

Love Chronicles is the second studio album of folk artist Al Stewart, released in September 1969. It was his first album to be released in the US (and was also the only one of his first four albums). Among the supporting musicians were Jimmy Page and four members of Fairport Convention: bassist Ashley Hutchings, guitarist Simon Nicol (listed as "Simon Breckenridge"), drummer Martin Lamble (as Martyn Francis) and guitarist Richard Thompson (listed as "Marvyn Prestwick").

Love Chronicles was released in the UK as part of the double CD To Whom It May Concern, which is an anthology of Stewart's first three albums. In 2007, Love Chronicles was re-issued with three bonus tracks.
