The Byrds - Original Singles A's & B's 1965-1971 (2CD)
There was a time in the 1960s when US Top 40 radio and record sales were dominated by British invasion bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stone, The Kinks and The Who. The US had a few answers, but none more potent, or competent, than The Byrds, who had a string of incredible singles and classic albums, and were able to evolve with the times, from folk rock, through psychedelic rock before finally settling into the country rock genre. While never acquiring the fame of their UK contemporaries, The Byrds certainly held their own, and for a period of time were arguably the most important American band of their time.
The fifty two tracks composing “Original A’s & B’s 1965-1971” are all included in their original mono single mixes, with the exceptions of “Citizen Kane” and “Farther Along” which were only recorded in stereo and were never folded down or prepared in any mono format.
Fans of 1960s folk, psychedelic and country rock will definitely want this set in their collection.
