Gene Clark’s 1974 masterpiece gets the reappraisal it’s long overdue.
“One of the greatest albums ever made. Initially celebrated for its
obscurity, No Other is now celebrated for its magnificence. It was in
every way a magnum opus: epic, sprawling, poetic, choral, rococo.” The
Guardian
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 shortlived 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 recognised as
one of the greatest of its time, if not all time.
