1) Anyone know what the real story is behind the current wreck of the 
Arthur
Lee?

To quote the late Rick James, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

2) Can any Harpers Bizarre fans recommend their favorite album / 
reissue?

To me, they're all worthwhile, but if I had to rank them:

ANYTHING GOES
THE SECRET LIFE OF HARPERS BIZARRE
FEELIN' GROOVY
HARPERS BIZARRE 4
AS TIME GOES BY

There's a Warner Archives compilation from about 10 years ago, also 
called FEELIN' GROOVY, that's okay as an introduction, but it includes 
nothing from the truly excellent THE SECRET LIFE OF HARPERS BIZARRE, 
which isn't quite so much a concept album as it is a weird little 
suitelike thing with a lot of trippy interludes and linking tracks. 
If you like the High Llamas' HAWAII, you'll like this.
