Train Leaves Here This Morning: Intervention Brings Dillard and Clark’s “Fantastic Expedition” to Hybrid SACD, Vinyl

March 22, 2022 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

Following its previous hybrid SACD and deluxe vinyl reissue of Gene Clark’s 1971 A&M Records solo classic White Light, Intervention Records is turning back the clock to 1968 to the Byrds co-founder’s collaboration with banjo legend Doug Dillard. In May, Intervention will reissue The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark on hybrid stereo SACD (playable on all CD players), while a 180-gram vinyl reissue will follow in late 2022.

The True One: 4AD Remasters, Reissues Gene Clark’s “No Other” In Lavish Box Set

September 11, 2019 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

Reviews: Gene Clark and The Rose Garden Return From Omnivore

August 13, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Though he’s been – and continues to be – the subject of numerous reissues and releases, Gene Clark still remains somewhat of an enigma. The founding member of The Byrds (1944-1991) only released six solo studio albums within his too-short lifetime, bolstering a discography also containing group and collaborative efforts. But he left behind what seems like scores of unreleased tracks, much of which has been mined in the years since his death. In 2013, the Omnivore label issued his demos for the A&M album White Light, and now the label has…

The Fantastic Expedition of Gene Clark: Omnivore Unveils Previously Unheard Demos from Late Byrd

February 7, 2013 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Though Gene Clark first made his mark as an original member of The Byrds, where he penned such classic folk-rock songs as “Feel a Whole Lot Better,” he left behind as rich a legacy as a solo artist as he did with The Byrds. Clark’s tenure as a Byrd wasn’t a long one; though the group rose to prominence with its 1965 Columbia debut Mr. Tambourine Man, Clark left the band in early 1966 amid interpersonal strife and a dislike of touring. He re-emerged quickly on a 1967 Columbia set with The…
