In an unrelenting quest to unveil virtually every hidden worthwhile document from the 1960s and '70s, producer Pat Thomas and Light in the Attic deliver two sessions of unreleased solo Tim Buckley material from 1967. The first seven songs are from a reel-to-reel demo tape cut by the singer at producer Jerry Yester's Laurel Canyon home. The last six are from an acetate recorded at Midtown Studios in Manhattan. All of this music was recorded during the preparation period leading up to Buckley's excellent sophomore album Goodbye and Hello.
The first two songs here, "Six Face" and "Contact," are the only recordings of these songs. They were co-written by Buckley and lyricist Larry Beckett. According to the latter, the former contained six verses initially, but Buckley edited them to four for the recording. The lyrics are delivered in the singer's wide-open, sexual, bluesy moan that he would later employ on "Get on Top of Me Woman" from Greetings from LA -- and its lyrics actually prefigure them -- though they're hardly funky. A hyper-strummed acoustic guitar is his only accompaniment in a near-Baroque psych-folk. "Contact" is more conventionally "folky," but its refrain is more rhythmically compelling and syncopated. The title track and "Once Upon a Time" were also written by the pair for a single that was later recorded with more elaborate "rock" arrangements by a band, but was never actually released -- the latter did end up on a Nuggets comp. It too contains the roots of gritty sensuality so abundant on Greetings from LA -- especially when Buckley lets his falsetto fly. The remaining three cuts from the tape demo were later re-recorded for Goodbye and Hello. Of these, Buckley's own "Once I Was" is revelatory. His investment in and commitment to the lyric is total; a reverie imbued with haunted emotion. All of the Goodbye and Hello demos on this set are more than just interesting, but this is the true gem in the bunch. The acetate contains three tunes that would later appear on the album, as well as the only studio version of a howling, then-untitled track that would be named "I Can't Leave You Lovin' Me" -- in a concert incarnation on Live at the Folklore Center 1967. It and "No Man Can Find the War" were marked by Yester as "maybes" for Goodbye and Hello. Two more Buckley songs get their first hearing anywhere: "Marigold" is a lovely, dark, narrative, love song, while "She's Back Again" melds rural and English folk, blues, and a smidgen of ragtime, revealing his command of all these musical languages at the age of 20.
Lady, Give Me Your Key contains expository notes by Thomas as well his in-depth interviews with Beckett and Yester. The sound is far better than acceptable considering the original sources, and the material is a true boon for Buckley's most devoted followers. ~ Thom Jurek

Daredevil Records use The Planet app powered by Shopify to neutralize your shipping emissions and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Daredevil Records has committed to donating the most amount of money possible from your order to offset C02 emissions.  

This includes funding innovative solutions such as direct air capture and mineralization, and a small portion of nature-based carbon removal.

These funds companies such as 44.01, Carbofex, CarbonBuilt, CarbonCure, Charm Industrial, Climeworks, DroneSeed, Grassroots Carbon, Heirloom Carbon, Loam, Noya, Pachama, Planetary, Remora, Running Tide, and Sustaera.

Carbon Removal Process

Carbon removal is the process of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then storing it.

For example, if a truck or a plane that delivers your shipment releases 1 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and you are subscribed to the Planet app, then Shopify ensures that 1kg of CO2 is also sucked from the atmosphere and stored away using solutions and technologies in Shopify Sustainability Fund.

There is a fast-growing and evolving sector with many carbon removal technologies in different stages of development. These technologies include nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and soil carbon sequestration and more high-tech solutions, such as direct air capture and mineralization.

How Shipping Emissions Are Calculated

The Planet app combines data from our store with industry data and peer-reviewed models to estimate how much CO2 your shipments release into the environment. Because the Planet app makes sure that CO2 shipping emissions are removed entirely, all values that are used in the data models are rounded up.

Review the following table to learn more about the which data is used to determine shipping emissions:

Factor

Primary value

If primary value isn't available

Weight

Weight of the shipment

An average shipment weight

Distance

Distance traveled according to the tracking data

Straight-line distance between the origin and destination address, multiplied by an uncertainty factor of 1.5

Type of transportation

Truck or plane carbon emissions, determined by speed and distance

Truck emissions

To estimate your emissions, the Planet app uses order tracking data associated with the tracking number assigned to the shipment. If the tracking number isn’t available or the shipping carrier isn’t supported, then the Planet app multiplies the estimated emissions by an uncertainty factor of 1.5. The uncertainty factor helps make sure that all your emissions are removed. If any data is inconsistent or missing, then the Planet app uses a reasonable maximum value instead.

For example, suppose that you ship a package from Boston to New York. The straight-line distance is 305.94 km, but the shortest road route is around 350 km. If tracking data is available, then the Planet app uses the exact distance traveled.

However, if no tracking data is provided, then 305.94 km is used in the base calculation, and the resulting emissions would be multiplied by 1.5. This calculation accounts for variations in the route, such as distances traveled from post offices and distribution centers, and the route taken by the courier to deliver the package to your customer's door.

Considerations for using the Planet app

Review the following considerations for the Carbon Neutral Shipping Planet app:

  • The models and estimates aren’t exact, but the Planet app overestimates your emissions to make sure that they’re entirely removed. 
  • The Planet app removes only carbon (CO2) emissions that account for 95% of the climate impact from burning fossil fuels for transportation. Other emissions such as CH4, N2O, and GHG aren’t removed.
  • Orders that are shipped by sea transportation (we do not ship any orders by sea) don't generate the data required to accurately calculate emissions. Instead, industry-accepted alternative methods are used to calculate emissions.
  • The Planet app currently focuses on addressing emissions from shipping-related transportation.
