The New Christy Minstrels:
The Wheeler Dealers / Saturday Night
Most people believe that this is the very first single Gene Clark recorded ever. But his first recordings with The New Christy Minstrels were the German version of "Green, Green" ("Grun Grun Ist Tennessee"). He did not participate in the "The Wheeler Dealers" soundtrack. He did participate on the hit single "Saturday Night"
The Beefeaters:
Please Let Me Love You / Don't Be Long
"The Beefeaters" was the name of the band before they changed it to "The Byrds". They released only this single, in 1964. My version is a re-release, but I don't know from when.
The Byrds:
Mr. Tambourine Man / I knew I'd Want You
Gene's and The Byrds' biggest commercial success.
Echoes / I found You
From Gene's first solo album from 1967 "With The Gosdin Brothers".
My version is a radio station copy.
Train Leaves Here This Morning / Out On The Side
Dillard & Clarks first single. Released November 1968. These songs are from the album "The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark".
Gene wrote "Train Leaves Here This Morning" with his old friend Bernie Leadon, who later founded The Eagles. The Eagles later got a hit with this song on their debut album in 1972.
My version is a radio station copy.
Don't Be Cruel / Lyin' Down the Middle
Dillard & Clarks second single. Both sides of this single were unavailable elsewere.
This version is also a radio station copy.
Rocky Top / Don't Let Me Down
Released November 1969. From the Album "Through the Morning, Through the Night".
No Other / The True One
From the album "No Other" released in 1974.
B-side is "The True One. A great song.
Life's Greatest Fool
Also from the album "No Other".
Same song on both sides. A-side is stereo and B-side is mono.
This one is a radio station copy.
Home Run King
This one is from "Two Sides To Every Story".
Not the most famous song, but still one of the best. It has that "Dillard & Clark"-tune to it. Could be because Doug Dillard is playing the banjo... And Emmylou Harris is doing an excelent job with the background vocals. A-side is stereo and B-side is mono.
Backstage Pass
From the album "McGuinn, Clark & Hillman" released in 1979.
"Backstage Pass" was the reason I got into all this. It was the very first time I heard Gene Clark. All three guys had contributed on the album, but it was Gene Clark who really hit me. That was many years and many songs ago...
Written by Gene Clark.
A-side is stereo and B-side is mono.
Backstage Pass / Feelin' Higher
Same as above, but with different B-side.
Don't You Write Her Off / Sad Boy
Also from the album "McGuinn, Clark & Hillman".
Surrender To Me / Bye, Bye, Baby
Yet another from "McGuinn, Clark & Hillman".
City
From the album "City". A-side is stereo and B-side is the same song in mono.
Released 1980.
Giving Herself Away / Who Taught the Night
Another single from "City".
This single was only released in The Netherlands. For some reason, Gene Clark made it pretty big there.
One More Chance / Street Talk
And another one from "City".
The Textones:
Midnight Mission
This is a 45 (12") single.
Gene Clark sings background vocals. So does Don Henley (of The Eagles).
Only Colombe / The French Girl
Originally recorded in 1967. Gene recorded these two songs after his first album "With The Gosdin Brothers". But this single's release was cancelled. "The French Girl" was not released in any form until 1991, after Gene's death.
Sundazed released this single in 2008, the way it might was intended back in 1967.
