History of the
GoldeBriars' Recordings
1964 - 1965 under the Epic Label
There's over 40 GB Tracks in the Sony-BMG archives with 15 unreleased (listed below).
Many people have never heard any of the GoldeBriars' recordings (which are rare to find & the albums can go for big bucks on EBAY) ...Important to note, the first album was contemporary folk, 2nd album had a more "pop flavor" & the unreleased 3rd album had evolved to pop-folk-rock.
I've received many welcomed GoldeBriars' fan emails over the years about how someone loaned their GB album 'way back when' & weren't able to get it back...Here's one story how a GB album disappeared from a fan's possession & how excited they are to have the GB music now on CD---

Thank you Dotti.........I'm looking
forward to that......in 1965 two friends of mine got their hands on a
GoldeBriar album and reproduced the sound; to a point.
They needed a female vocalist, that was my
girlfriend. They did a bang-up job and played coffee-houses from
Albany N.Y. to Springfield Mass. for a year.
As it would be, I ended up w/album #1,
protecting and playing it for 20 years. During a divorce situation
my Ex-wife decided the album must be hers and absconded w/it. so be my
tale of woe and my deep desire to replace some of the sweetest sounds
ever recorded. I suspect it's time for me to change the strings on my
12 string, tune it and be prepared to strum along...............Thank
you again for the opportunity to indulge my auditory senses.......Greg

Unreleased GoldeBriars' Epic Recordings...

These are extra songs recorded for the 2nd album on 5-5-64, & recordings on 12-11-64 for the 3rd GoldeBriars' album....so all these recordings (including choosing some of the unreleased extra recordings listed above) would have created a 3rd twelve-song album--
