Tim Buckley Lady, Give Me Your Key: The Unissued 1967 Solo Acoustic Sessions
Tumblr media
In 1967, the face of rock was changing.  In that year alone there were debut albums from The Velvet Underground, The Doors, and Pink Floyd, to name a few. The Beatles had combined orchestration with their music—the result was Sgt. Peppers in June, the same month that Tim Buckley recorded Goodbye & Hello.
Buckley was no longer just another singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar; he was drenched in acid-folk tinges of harpsichord and harmonium. Lyricist Larry Beckett embellished Tim’s songs with introspective lyrics at times, worldly views at others. It was the first major triumph for Tim as an album artist, partially because there were a remarkable amount of pre-production demos that led to it.
Available here for the first time are these newly discovered master tapes, recorded by Goodbye & Hello’s producer Jerry Yester, along with an ultra-rare acetate, found to be in co-songwriter (and best friend) Beckett’s possession.
Of the 13 previously unreleased solo acoustic songs contained here, six of them did eventually appear with more expansive instrumentation on Goodbye & Hello (along with another four not included here). However, the crown jewel of this package is seven never-before-heard compositions.  These will be new to even the most devoted Buckley fan. Arguably, two of them crept out decades after Tim’s death (albeit, much different recordings than what you have here) but with little fanfare.
So much has been written about Tim Buckley but so little of it by people who actually knew him.  This booklet, however, includes a detailed interview with both Larry Beckett and Jerry Yester, providing real insight on how these recordings came to be and attempting to uncover the man behind all the myths, the real Tim Buckley.
Several rarities releases in the 1980s and ‘90s shed light on his talent, especially the live recordings, but all of the studio material has generally been alternative versions of songs that fans already knew—until now. This is the first-ever posthumous release that reveals a wealth of previously unreleased and unheard tracks from Tim at the peak of his career. In short, you need this!

For some reason I'm unable to reply on Reddit but I believe this autograph is real.

From Veit Stauffer on Facebook
JENS HAGEN (1944–2004) was a german photographer / journalist. Here in this group I met his wife, artist DOROTHEE JOACHIM. 💐🎩🎯She sent me this TIM BUCKLEY photo from Essener Songtage, Sat 28. September 1968, made by Jens Hagen.
When I later looked at my german pressing of "Starsailor" (1970), I found the linernotes in german/english by Jens. Beautiful coincidence. His well written text is not about "Starsailor" tough, but full of impressions Tim made on Jens, about his first four albums. Thanks alot Dorothee Joachim, for all your kindness and communication.
