NOTE: this description is based on a text we found on a major retailer website. There are some errors that we will correct as soon as possible. For instance, The Byrds did not record nor appear live on german TV in October 1972. By this time, John Guerin had replaced Gene Parsons as the band's drummer, and that lineup never visited Europe.
Gene Clark's 1977 albumTwo Sides To Every Storyto be re-released on CD at last in June 2011.
Received fromGene Clark's son Kai Clark:
Hello everyone!!!
High Moon Records will be re-releasing my father's album "Two Sides To Every Story" with the release date set to be sometime in June.
This is great news as "Two Sides To Every Story" is one of the rarest Gene Clark albums to find on CD, or at all for that matter. This will be the first time it has been released on CD in almost 20 years!!!
There will be a launch party on April 29th at the Roxy theatre in Los Angeles where I will be performing the album in its entirety with my band and also other Gene Clark gems. There will be some very special guests (some of who will be joining me on stage) at this event. Also performing will be remaining members of Love, performing their never released album "Black Beauty" album. Please go to my site to find more information and links.
NOTE : Considering problems that arose with Gene Clark releases in the past, we have some doubts about this being a legit release.
