GENE CLARK ALBUM UPDATE
For the past month and half we have been accepting advance, pre-release orders for Sierra Records' upcoming:
GENE CLARK
- THE LOST STUDIO SESSIONS 1964-1982
We want to thank all of you that have placed your order! If you have not received your advance copy of the 4-song Bonus CD, please be assured, it is on it's way and should be arriving shortly. There have seem some delays to Canada and Germany via DHL but they will be in your hands shortly. We have been extremely gratified by the customer response to the 4-song Bons CD, both in relation to Gene's stunning White Light-era performances and also the many comments received about the disc's lush sound quality. Later in this newsletter (see below "FOLLOW THE PRODUCTION...") we will have even more information on the actual release of the upcoming album. But first a word to those you who have yet to order.
PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE DEADLINE APRIL 20, 2016
Time constraints force us to impose a cut-off date of April
20, 2016 to place your order for the Ultimate Limited Edition (see below). We
need to go to press on the insert booklet for both the hybrid SACD and 2 LP
set. After April 20, a limited remaining copies of the initial run of 1000
numbered box sets will be available. After that date, however, there will be
the first of two price increases going forward, the first before the album is
released and shipped and the second, when the album is shipped.
Later in the Fall 2016, 2LP vinyl set and hybrid SACD will be sold through other outlets.
Order now at GeneClarkSierra.com!

FOLLOW THE PRODUCTION OF THE GENE CLARK ALBUM
In the coming days and weeks, we will share with you in
words and pictures on Sierra's social media pages (Facebook,
Twitter (@Sierra_Records) and Instagram)
for regular updates on the actual production of
GENE CLARK - THE LOST STUDIO SESSIONS 1964-1982
You will be able to follow the various stages of the album's creation - from mixing, DMM disc mastering, hybrid SACD mastering, printing and fabricating the album package, vinyl pressing, hybrid SACD replication, packaging, up to the day of shipping and pickup by DHL - before it makes its way to you! We hope in this way you can feel more involved in the album's progress and also keep tabs on your own order in a more direct way.
We are working diligently to answer any and all questions
and getting this incredible music out to you as soon as possible. For
Pat, Earl, Tom and myself, thank you for your continued support.
