VIA PRESS RELEASE | Intervention Records introduces the next hybrid CD/SACD in its (Re)Discover Series, Gene Clark’s stunning 1971 classic, White Light (Cat# IR-SCD9 / UPC 707129301598). White Light’s CD/SACD on-sale date is June 22nd.
White Light is a bittersweet and knowing statement from a singer/ songwriter at the peak of his creative powers. Having fronted The Byrds, Clark on his own here is stripped down in guitarist Jesse Ed Davis’ stark production. The lyrics, singing, and guitar playing are so powerful that less production here is immeasurably more musically. White Light’s CD/SACD is mastered Direct-to-DSD by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio from the best source available—phenomenal-sounding 1/2″ safety copies of the original stereo master tapes. The results are amazing!
The beautiful guitar playing is full and rich, and listeners can hear the full body of the instruments, not just the strings. Gene’s aching vocals have never been so emotive and immediate.
The album art is beautifully restored by IR’s Tom Vadakan and housed in a super jewel box.
