Joe Myers (Meyers?) and the Sharks: Blue Ribbon / Artesian Original release date: circa 1959 Blue Ribbon Artesian Note: Johnny Rogan, in 'Timeless Flight' reports that Gene Clark wrote and recorded a song (a love ballad) with the Sharks when he was 14 years old. Rogan says the record was released locally (in Kansas City, Missouri) and was played on national television. This is subject to debate, however.

Evidence of the single would be greatly welcomed! Gene Clark himself mentioned this single in several interviews (and mentioned the title of the B side). Hereunder is a scan of part of a 1978 interview with Gene. I rather believe Gene and Johnny Rogan than some self-appointed Gene Clark expert who writes about him 45 years after these songs were recorded and still thinks he knows better when saying this record never existed. New Christy Minstrels: Saturday Night/The Wheeler Dealers Original release date: october 1963 Saturday Night The Wheeler Dealers Note: According to the New Christy Minstrels biography, 'The Wheeler Dealers' was the first song they recorded with Gene Clark in 1963. It was released in October of '63 as the B-side of 'Saturday Night' ('The Wheeler Dealers' was on the soundtrack of a James Garner film by the same name).
The image shows the picture sleeve release from Holland. Gene Clark is not pictured on the cover. New Christy Minstrels: In Italy.In Italian Original release date: 1966 Le Collini Sono In Fiore (The River) Mister Tamburino (Mr. Tambourine Man) Stasera Gli Angeli Non Volano (For The Last Time) Ciao Ciao (Green Green) Se Piangi, Se Ridi (If You Cry, If You Laugh) Tempo Di Rose, Tempo D'Amore (Time Of Roses, Time Of Love) Cam Camini (Chim Chim Cher-ee) A La Buena De Dios (If Fate Allows) Cara (Dear Heart) Una Rosa Da Vienna (A Rose From Vienna) La Ballata Degli Innamorati (Ballad For Young Lovers) Note: Gene Clark joined The New Christy Minstrels just after Green Green became a hit, and does not sing or play on the original version. However, some well-informed sources say that he was present when the italian version was recorded. So he might be on some of these tracks sung in italian.
It would really be something if he was on this version of 'Mister Tambourine Man'.

It is not clear which, if any of the recordings feature Clark. In the liner notes to the Merry Go Round compilation, the two primary members of the band credit Joel Larson with providing a third harmony part, and there is no mention of Clark ever participating with them. The band did, however, feature two former members of the Gene Clark Group: Larson and Bill Rinehart. The image at left is the original vinyl album.
