McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Live at the Boarding House 1978 (Limited Edition 2 x 180g Clear Vinyl)

This 1978 live broadcast recording is a marvelous showcase for the talents of four of the prime movers in one of America's most popular groups. Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and Chris Hillman - and their star guest this evening, David Crosby - were all leading lights in The Byrds. During this unique performance, at San Francisco's intimate Boarding House, each of the main trio is given a chance to shine in a solo spotlight before reuniting for some great reprises of Byrds' classics. The ensemble is further bolstered by the welcome addition of David Crosby in an eight song tour-de-force to close a legendary show. The late Gene Clark kicks off proceedings with sterling renditions of Silver Raven, from his best-known solo album, 'No Other', and Release Me Girl, before turning over the stage to Chris Hillman. For his own turn centre-stage Hillman chooses to highlight two tracks that were originally included on the double-album, 'Manassas', Bound To Fall and It Doesn't Matter. Next up is the one constant member of the ever-changing Byrds line-ups, Roger McGuinn, who plays two songs most closely associated with him personally, Jolly Roger from his 1976 solo album, 'Cardiff Rose' and Ballad Of Easy Rider which was co-written with Bob Dylan. Next, the three principals combine for spell-binding reworkings of the highly evocative Chestnut Mare - originally from The Byrds' 1970 album, 'Untitled' - Thomas Jefferson Kaye's Crazy Ladies, and Gene Clark and Bernie Leadon's Train Leaves Here This Morning. Completing a quartet of masterful musicians, David Crosby joins the others for a tremendous journey through a selection of The Byrds' finest moments: their groundbreaking versions of Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and You Ain't Going Nowhere, Pete Seeger's Turn! Turn! Turn!, the iconic Eight Miles High and (So You Want To Be A) Rock n Roll Star and Gene's glorious Feel A Whole Lot Better. The ensemble also find time for a fine version of Knocking On Heaven's Door and Bye Bye Baby.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH AT LEAST TWO STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES.  I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.

Grading

I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent - The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits discoloration etc.

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/ or defaced.

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Packaging

Items are sent in new plastic sleeves and high quality, professional record packaging, with at least four stiffeners for protection.
