Let me start by saying that this is a review of the pressing and the amazing job that Intervention has done with this reissue, and not a review of the music. I am a huge fan of Gene Clark's music, but I'll let others describe what makes him great.Warning: this record will make all of your other records sound bad in comparison. I've never heard a record where it sounded like I was in the studio with the musicians, but this one does. For example, the bass guitar on "Where My Love Lies Asleep" is so rich, full, and detailed, I nearly flew back in my seat when it first came on. I've heard louder bass on records, but not this present, nuanced, and forceful.It is my hope that the vinyl industry takes note of what the folk at Intervention are doing and that pressings like this become the industry standard moving forward. This is not a cheap pressing, but it is everything that an audiophile could hope for. The packaging is beautiful and solid, the records are strikingly quiet when the needle is placed, and the music has all of the warmth and presence of a live performance. The overall quality of Intervention's pressings are worth every penny and then some.On a side note, I recently picked up 4AD's reissue of "No Other". It sounds very good, though quiet, as all of my recent 4AD purchases do (any of The Breeders' reissues, for example). A fine pressing, but I had hoped that Intervention would do the reissue of "No Other". They would probably spread it across two records and the details of the mix would be more noticeable ("No Other" is a dense record). Hopefully someday!
