Ultra-Quiet 180g Vinyl LP Reissue 100% Analog Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio and Pressed at Gotta Groove Records

What a time 1968 was for the burgeoning country rock scene! Gene Clark and Gram Parsons had introduced rock fans to some country flair with The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo. After Sweetheart..., Parsons broke auspicious new ground with The International Submarine Band (just a year before he'd make The Flying Burrito Brothers' The Gilded Palace of Sin), while Clark teamed with banjo genius Doug Dillard for this bluegrass classic, The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark.

The picking virtuosity of Dillard, Bernie Leadon and others on this LP meshes beautifully with Clark's soulful vocal presence and guitar. The repertoire is endlessly fun and engaging but punctuated with somewhat somber Clark offerings like ''She Darked the Sun'' and ''Something's Wrong.'' Country rock is familiar ground to Intervention fans, as Intervention Records already tackled greats from The Flying Burrito Bros., and Gene Clark's amazing solo effort White Light. This is the roots of the music that paved the way for the Eagles and countless others.

Intervention Records' 180g vinyl LP reissue of The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark is 100% analog mastered from the 1/4" 15-ips original master tapes by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio. The tapes sound beautifully dynamic and alive, with tuneful bass, extended highs and three-dimensional imaging. The IR cut has better separation and punch than any previous version of this amazing record. The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark is IR's first 180g LP to be pressed at Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland, Ohio.
