Omnivore

Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

As a leading authority on archival releases and reissues, Omnivore Recordings ensures that fans of these artists can continue to enjoy their timeless music while introducing new audiences to their incredible talent. With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

Tim Buckley was a folk singer/songwriter in the 1960s and early 1970s. He experimented with music and improvisation, as seen in his albums "Lorca" and "Starsailor". Despite his efforts to transition into pop music, he faced little success. His later albums went unnoticed by critics and the public.
Tragically, Tim Buckley passed away at the age of 28 due to a lethal combination of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose. This occurred the day after completing his final show on a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.
Buckley is also known as the father of singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley, who tragically died young while on his way to achieving musical success in the 1990s.

Tim Buckley

Every US and UK A and B-side, including one that was never issued! From folk to rock to psychedelia to jazz to soul, Tim Buckley continued to evolve and explore – pushing boundaries at every turn. Through the course of his career, 10 singles were issued from his 9 albums, and they are collected for the very first time on Wings: The Complete Singles 1966-1974. Working with producers including Paul Rothchild, Jac Holzman, Jerry Yester, and Jerry Goldstein, Buckley’s recordings always sounded incredible - each producer bringing the right feel to his progressing musical persona. With material running chronologically from his self-titled debut from 1966 through 1974’s Look At The Fool, Wings traces his development as an artist and writer. Of special note is the unissued 1967 single Once Upon A Time and Lady, Give Me Your Key - the latter making its first appearance anywhere! The booklet features photos and ephemera, as well as an extensive, new interview with Buckley’s longtime friend and collaborator, Larry Beckett, done specifically for this collection. Mastered by Grammy® winner Michael Graves, the audio sparkles like never before. An excellent primer for the curious (and fans of Tim’s son, Jeff Buckley) and essential for those in the know, Wings: The Complete Singles 1966-1974 lets the legacy of the great Tim Buckley fly.
