Thanks for this and the others Rocking-Byrd.
I have a feeling I wrote comments before and forget to send.
Anyway, I am just back from Japan. Looked for rare Byrds and related stuff in Tower Records, still going strong over there. No joy although I found some other good stuff.
Where are you at in your privatization move?

A fine collection here. The alternate takes are interesting, and the rare ones a real pleasure. The version of Release Me Girl is so much better than the MCH album version, and it's live to boot. A son like Mary Sue might have been a hit, it's quite commercial but fun to listen to as well. Really, Gene Clark was a prolific songwriter, one of the most prolific in his relatively short career. I wonder if anyone has counted how many songs he either wrote or co-wrote in his twenty-odd years as a musician. His voice was distinct and expressive, both as a solo vehicle as well as in harmony. It's taking me awhile to get through all this music--now on to the live recordings! Thanks R--B, I'0m really enjoying these.
