Gene Clark CDRs

A question was asked by a visitor, about the Gene Clark albums currently being posted.

They’re part of a series of fan-made CDRs that were made available and swapped in closed circles in the 90s.

Many tracks are duplicated; all were rare or unreleased at the time these discs were made.

More will follow in the next future.
