Title:	Gene Glark (White Light)
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 116LP

"Further proof that 1971 could very well have been the best year ever for pop music is Gene Clark's self-titled LP (often referred to as White Light). Following his 1966 departure from The Byrds, as well as a release with the Gosdin Brothers and two with Doug Dillard as Dillard & Clark, Gene cut White Light with guitarist/producer Jesse Ed Davis, Burrito Brother Chris Ethridge and pianist Ben Sidran (then of the Steve Miller Band). This album is a country-rock classic featuring eight Clark originals and a stellar cover of the Dylan/Band cut 'Tears Of Rage.'"

Title:	Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	SC 11188CD

"On the first solo album by an ex-Byrd, Gene Clark doesn't stray too far from the nest. Cut in 1966 upon Clark's departure from the iconic L.A. combo, with current Byrds Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke forming the rhythm section, and spotlighting brothers Vern and Rex Gosdin, a pair of former bluegrass pals of Hillman's who chime in with sweet harmony vocals, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers stands as one of Clark's supreme achievements. Add session guitarists Glen Campbell and Jerry Cole and future Byrd Clarence White and beautiful orchestration by Leon Russell to Clark's melancholy melodies and weatherbeaten voice and the result is a classic country-rock primer that sounded like nothing else in '67 and continues to astound and inspire today. A handful of bonus tracks from the sessions only sweeten the deal of this eye-opening work."

Title:	Only Colombe/The French Girl
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	7"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	SC 192EP

"Gene Clark became the first member of a major U.S. rock band to go solo when he left The Byrds and released his stirring 1966 debut LP Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers. Clark then cut a pair of sparkling, Gary Usher-produced/Curt Boettcher-arranged tracks -- 'The French Girl' and 'Only Colombe' -- as his final single for Columbia, a release that was unfathomably cancelled at the 11th hour by the label, thus robbing the world of this glistening, baroque-pop gem. Sundazed is overjoyed to restore these tracks, taken from the original mono Columbia masters, to their proper place in the universe: as the two-sided single that should have made Gene Clark a huge star in his own right."
