The historical ‘Country Rock Summit meeting’ as the photo has been coined in Sid Griffin’s 1985 book Gram Parsons: A Music Biography has long been the subject of a debate on whether the photo is authentic.

No Other arrived in 1974 with an extravagant sound and mysterious image during a time when music was moving away from the traditional folk-country sound of the late sixties, favouring hard and blues rock. The album seemed deliberately out of step with its time, with Gene Clark sewing together an impossibly elaborate tapestry of gospel choirs, steel pedals and orchestral arrangements backed by soul rhythms and spiritual searching.
