Gene Clark TITLE: No Other (Deluxe 2xCD) Gene Clark's 1974 masterpiece gets the reappraisal it's long overdue. On the eve of what would have been American singer-songwriter and Byrds founding member Gene Clark's 75th birthday comes the reissue of one of his finest works, No Other. Released in 1974 on Asylum Records, a year after the Byrds short- lived reunion, Gene reached for the stars with No Other; a psychedelic rock, folk, country and soul record that famously cost a small fortune to make. Although received warmly by critics, it flopped and was soon deleted, a failure Gene never came to terms with. However, as The New York Times wrote around the record's 40th anniversary in 2014, "hindsight has burnished No Other, as it has redeemed other albums that went on to be reconstructed as rock repertory, like Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers and Lou Reed's Berlin," with the album now being increasingly recognized as one of the greatest of it's time, if not all time. 45 years on and recently remastered at Abbey Road, 4AD are giving No Other the reappraisal it deserves. The original eight track album is being released in a limited run double CD edition in a hardbound book cover is also coming which includes a bonus disc of alternate studio versions of each track plus a recording of "Train Leaves Here This Morning" (an Eagles hit in 1972, written by Gene and Eagles founding member Bernie Leadon). "One of the greatest albums ever made. Initially celebrated for it's obscurity, No Other is now celebrated for it's magnificence. It was in every way a magnum opus: epic, sprawling, poetic, choral, rococo."
