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 short-lived 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 recognized as one of the greatest of its time, if not all time.
