SIERRA RECORDS does it again - incredible new Gene Clark releases with lots of unreleased tracks

Gene Clark - The Lost Studio Sessions 1964-1982

geneclarksierra.com 

First and foremost, a big thank you to all of you that have already placed an order!  There has been some growing pains with the new site.   So we will be doing maintenance tonight from 11 PM EST  for approximately 2 hours.  We had issues with outside the USA postal codes,  non delivery of email confirmation and a few other issues.  Those you who have not ordered as yet,  please do as soon as possible, the website is up and working currently.

Several of our overseas customers express concerns about custom duties, etc.   Your order will have an acknowledgement receipt enclosed but no pricing/cost listed.   USA customs requires us to list the "cost of goods" on the outside custom forms.  However,  those "cost of goods"  will only be listed as follows:

Bonus Acoustic CD   $1.00 for customs declaration.
Ultimate Box Set   $18.00  for customs declaration.
Hybrid SACD only:  $5.00 for customs declaration only
2LP set only:   $8.00  for customs declaration only

Further, the Bonus Acoustic CD will not be sent our usual bubble pack envelope but in a thick cardboard package, thus preventing, we hope, any damage to the printed sleeve and compact disc enclosed.

We will be sending out regular emails as they come available on shipping dates and yes, we will be announcing later a "cut off" final date to  have your name included at your option on the Ultimate Box Set as we will need to get that to the printer of the booklets both LP an hybrid SACD. 

Thank you again, for your support,  we are working on hard to answer any and all questions and getting this incredible music out to you as soon as possible.

 For Pat, Earl, Tom and myself,  we thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

John Delgatto, Founder/President

Huge Byrds collection for sale

Byrds Flyght is parting with its huge collection of Byrds and Byrds-related items (records, reel-to-reel tapes, cassette tapes, CDs, CDRs, DVD, DVDrs, VHS video tapes, posters, books, magazines, etc…).

As far as records and CDs are concerned, we have a near-complete collection of every Byrds album release (official and unofficial) as well as every solo or group album release by the 11 ex-members and every participation by the 11 ex-members in other artists’ albums (except for recordings by and with David Crosby – we only have a few by him). We also have many 7’’ singles and E.P.s. Most of what we have can be viewed on Byrds Flyght’s pages.

So now is the time to get this rare item that you’ve been searching for for decades. Send an e-mail to Byrds Flyght at

byrdsflyght@skynet.be

with details of what you’re looking for, as well as the maximum price (including shipping) you’re willing to pay to get it. No funny low prices please. Serious offers only.

We will answer every e-mail, but of course we often have one copy only of each item. So don’t be disappointed if the answer is negative. If so, it’s either because the item has already been sold or because your offer doesn’t reach our own estimated value price. In the latter case, we will tell you so and give you a second chance to make a higher offer.

Jerry Lee Lewis sings Roger McGuinn

Jerry Lee Lewis released his third album in a decade yesterday, October 27th, 2014.

The CD is titled ROCK & ROLL TIME, which is also the title of the song that opens the album.

Does that title ring a bell to Byrds fans? Yes, it's the same old song that appeared on Roger McGuinn's CARDIFF ROSE album in 1976.

The song was co-written by Roger McGuinn, Kris Kristofferson and Bob Neuwirth, and first appeared on Kristofferson's LP called SPOOKY LADY'S SIDESHOW in 1974.
