I'm psyched to see the nacient rumblings of a Gene Clark thread.  For 
years I've been curious about Gene's solo stuff.  I also was curious, 
after falling in love with "teenage symphonies to god" what good 
stuff might be found on the Dillard and Clark albums.  Does anyone 
know if there are any quality remastered versions of these d & c 
albums on cd and which might be the choicest to start with.  I've 
been told the cover the Velvet Crush did was from "The Amazing 
Dillard and Clark" but I feel like a real dolt about all these 
records.
