It was Bob Weston's arrangement (and I thought it fit with the sound of the rest of the album quite nicely, actually). One example of Bob Weston's little acknowledged or known contributions. His lead guitar work on it is great (as it was on
Penguin's "Revelation"); as was his slide guitar intro to "Why", the co-write of "Caught In The Rain" & his co-lead vocal on "Did You Ever Love Me?".
I think the record company requested it due to they didn't hear anything they could release as a single when the band initially submitted the album (hence the initial pressing of the album having Bob Welch's "Good Things (Come To Those Who Wait)" listed on the cover & its lyrics on the lyric sheet insert)...Reprise then issued "For Your Love" as the single (with "Hypnotized" as the B-side).
Apologies if I've turned into "Captain Obvious" or "General E. Redundant".
