No Other (Gene Clark)


Listen Later

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the album No Other by American singer-songwriter and musician Gene Clark.

Released in 1974, No Other was Clark's fourth solo album. Largely dismissed by critics at the time it was a commercial failure. The studio time and cost were seen as indulgent by Asylum Records who did not promote the album, eventually deleting it from their catalogue a few years after its release. Clark never recovered from the failure of the album. 

It has since been positively reappraised and prior to Clark's death in 1991 it was reissued on CD. In the early 2000s it was reissued a second time to further reappraisal, being referred to as a lost masterpiece. In 2019 4AD launched another reissue campaign releasing the album as a CD, LP, deluxe double-CD set, and an expansive super deluxe box set with three SACDs, one Blu-ray disc, a silver-colored LP, and commemorative 80-page book.

I do hope you enjoy this episode.
