"Starsailor is the sixth studio album by Tim Buckley (yes, the father of Jeff Buckley) and arguably his artistic pinnacle. This is the culmination of Tim's journey into the stylings of jazz. A breathtaking album of incredible originality and creativity. Buck Gardner, from Frank Zappa's classic Mothers Of Invention plays amazing trumpet parts on this album. All the tracks are unique in their own way and deserve praise. Songs like the title track and 'Jungle Fire' among others show his vocal versatility like never before with his legendary 5 plus octave range. 'Song To The Siren' has been covered by a variety of artists, most notably by This Mortal Coil and John Frusciante. Although hardly appreciated in 1970, this is one of the truly great modern recordings."

LP version. "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 And 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 And 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 And 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! 13 previously unissued solo acoustic demos. Remastered from the original analog tapes and acetate. Book includes in-depth interview with Buckley's lyricist Larry Beckett."

Gatefold 180 gram LP reissue of this album, originally released in 1969. "Blue Afternoon is Buckley's fourth album and his first for Frank Zappa's Straight label. Continuing with the jazz inflected folk-rock he first unveiled on his previous release, Happy Sad, Buckley's songs are complimented here by classy arrangements featuring vibes player David Friedman and Lee Underwood's beautifully understated guitar work. A classic from perhaps the most unique American singer-songwriter of the '60s and '70s."

2021 restock. "Buckley's 1970 Asylum album once again available on vinyl. Continuing his jazz explorations, Buckley created the most 'out' album of his career. The 5/4 time signature title track is strikingly weird with haunted house pipe organ and two faster-paced numbers, the mellow contemplative love song 'I Had A Talk With My Woman' and the slightly funky blues-based 'Nobody Walkin',' are even fun. The band is Lee Underwood, John Balkin (bass, haunted house pipe organ on 'Lorca'), and Carter Collins (congas).180 gram."

"Rare and Unreleased Recordings 1968/1973. In his nine-year career, Buckley had a prolific output, releasing nine studio albums by the age of 27, beginning with Tim Buckley in 1966 and ending with Look at the Fool in 1974. During his brief life, he incorporated a wide range of styles into his music, including folk, rock, and jazz. Manifesto has discovered eight recordings from late in Buckley's career, from early 1973, several months before he went into the studio to record Sefronia. That album has often been criticized as over-produced and out-of-character, but these tracks offer fresh insight to what might have been. Included are two songs that have never been heard before, 'Falling Timber' and 'The Dream Belongs to Me'. In addition, we have included six bonus tracks from 1968. These six recordings, including some of Buckley's most beloved works ('Song to the Siren,' 'Sing a Song for You,' and 'Buzzin' Fly') were previously unreleased, except for the internet-only CD Works in Progress (Rhino Handmade 1999)."
