Epic band - I think I own just about every vinyl LP ever produced by the Byrds, including the anthologies and anthologies of anthologies.
IIRC, “Eight Miles High” won an award for top JAZZ recording the year it came out.
Some unheralded but dynamite (IMO) Byrds recordings -
“Pretty Boy Floyd”
“Truck Stop Girl”
“Baby Blue”
“Old John Robertson”
and check out their album “Sweetheart of the Rodeo” - a real sleeper.
..... still play them regularly.
Supurb... I’ve got a couple scratched ones, save them for the record sleeve I guess lol
Yes! Very controversial album back then— fans expected something psychedelic but they sang country instead. At the time it didn’t please rock or country fans.
One thing I really wish the Byrds had done was to record the full version of Mr. Tambourine Man, instead of the cut-down single-length version they did.
