Gene Clark -- The Lost Studio Sessions 1964-1982 LP tan

2xLP on TRANSLUCENT TAN VINYL.

Beyond his achievements as a founding member of the Byrds, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Gene Clark was truly one of the most prolific singer/songwriters of the rock era. This album introduces previously unreleased studio sessions from Clark's pre-Byrds days in 1964 with studio recordings from 1967-70 that feature Hugh Masekela on horns and arrangements by Leon Russell. Includes an entire album side of tracks with the Flying Burrito Brothers with one that features Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman and Bernie Leadon from 1970. The entire fourth side of the LP features his 1982 reunion with former bandmates, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke as the early Byrds band, "Nyteflyte".

Since his passing in 1991, many of Gene Clark's home demo recordings and various live tracks have been released. Actual studio sessions were rare and existence was more rumor until this release. These "lost" recordings are presented here with the best possible sound quality mastered from the original analog monaural, stereo and multi-track tapes. This is an essentially an alternate history of Gene Clark's most productive years as a songwriter. Includes a 24-page color booklet with extensive liner notes, rare photos and production/recording info. The LP was originally released in January 2017 on 180 gram vinyl with a very limited pressing and is extremely rare with many copies selling for $100 on Discogs.
