## Description

Product Description Though they'd been together for just three years, the Byrds already had enough hits and classics to put out this collection in 1967-a #6 album in its own right! The 11 original songs- Turn, Turn, Turn; Mr. Tambourine Man; Eight Miles High , and the rest-are joined by three bonus tracks: It Won't Be Wrong; Set You Free This Time , and Have You Seen Her Face . A landmark in American music, expanded and upgraded! desertcart.com The 12-string electric guitar may never recover. As long as there are baby boomers roaming the earth, its airy jangle will signify psychedelic innocence and optimism refracted through the peculiar light of mid-'60s Los Angeles. With Roger McGuinn leading, the Byrds kicked off American rock history with a merger of Bob Dylan's words and the Beatles' melodic energy. The results are here: "Mr. Tambourine Man," "The Bells of Rhymney," and "Eight Miles High" still jump off the airwaves. The midpoint between Dylan and the Beatles is a one-of-a-kind place, where optimism and innocence still sound smart. --Steve Tignor

Review: A great place to get acquainted with the Byrds - Updated October 20, 2014 All the songs on this album are not "hits" in the accepted meaning of that term. Even so, this is a great collection of early songs by the Byrds and the addition of three new selections to the original album is a plus for the listener, especially "Have You Seen Her Face," a wonderful song by the underrated Chris Hillman. Several of the Byrds' covers of Dylan songs are on this album and "Chimes of Freedom" is one of my favorites as is "My Back Pages." Roger McGuinn gives us some of the roughness of Dylan's style and adds to the mix the signature Rickenbacker guitar sound the Byrds are famous for. Pete Seeger's great adaptation of Ecclesiastes, "Turn, Turn, Turn" is on this album and is a true "greatest hit." This song solidified the Byrds as a musical force to be reckoned with after their initial success with "Mr. Tambourine Man," which begins the CD. A few quirky "hits" are included, like "Mr. Spaceman" and "Eight Miles High." These oddities give the album contrast and seem at first out of place, but grow on the listener, at least this listener, over time. In fact, this CD has great variety. One of the treasures on this CD is Pete Seeger's "The Bells of Rhymney." The Byrds do a great job with this wonderful song, which impressed George Harrison of Beatles fame. Many other artists covered this song. If readers of this review want to hear something special, go to YouTube and type in John Denver Bells of Rhymney. The original Byrds, McGuinn, Crosby, Hillman, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke, did not stay together long. Gene Clark was the first to leave and his picture is not on the album cover. BTW, that was a major loss for the Byrds. Gene was a fine singer/songwriter. Then Crosby left; McGuinn did his best to hold the group together and the reformed band did have some musical, if not commercial success after the initial breakup when Gram Parsons signed on. Listeners who want to follow the entire career of the Byrds are advised to get their Boxed Set of songs to see how far the group progressed before the final breakup. For those people who have heard the Byrds' mentioned as a great band but who have listened to little of their music, this is an excellent place to get acquainted with a sampling of their unique sound. In my opinion, this is a truly classic CD that is one of the greatest "Hits" albums ever recorded. I have given this album as a gift many times and it is always much appreciated.
Review: SACD Version - The first album I ever bought was Mr. Tambourine Man by these Guys. I loved it then, and almost 50 years later I still do. At some point in the last few years I discovered SACD, and jumped with both feet into that format. I snapped up all the multi-channel classic rock offerings, and gradually built my collection. I have bought just about ever multi-channel offering that isn't in the three figures range, and finally turned to the stereo SACD world. The albums come in two types I have found. One is crystal clear, great presence, with the high, mid and low range freqs all there in all their SACD glory. These discs are a pure joy to listen to, and each and every one of these is better by leaps and bounds than its regular CD counterpart. Examples of this are the Dylan stereo SACDs, Blood Sweat and Tears' second album, the stuff by The Band, and The Doobie Brothers. The other version is lacking in high freq, and the mid and low end dominate the disc. Cymbal hits go "thump" rather than "kwissssshhhhhhh". Most of you reading this review know what I am talking about. Examples of this are the Creedence albums, the Pretenders II, and sadly the Allman Brothers Band discs. This Byrds disc is of the first type. The sound is great, clear, and the stereo separation is good, though dated. For example, the drums are just about totally in the right channel. The bass comes through loud and clear in the sub woofer. I haven't heard any other CDs of this album, just the vinyl version bought long ago. But, my SACD version is fine. And, of course, the music itself is great stuff. We can argue over what is and what should be on the track listing, but I just go with what we get. Find it somewhere at a reasonable price, all you SACD folks, and snap it up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GOOD SONGS.!!
*by A***R on April 5, 2025*

Was in grade school (1960's) when some of the songs on this CD (Mr. Tambourine Man; Turn.! Turn.! Turn.! (To Everything There Is A Season); All I Really Want To Do; and Eight Miles High) was played on the radio (after listening to the CD; found out that more songs were played on the radio). There are 11 songs as well as 3 Bonus Tracks on this CD. Worth the purchase.!!
